I'm almost there....... my buddy is all set up for it, only he didn't really mess with rifles until just recently.  I think he got a set of dies for the .260.... .300 won't be far behind!

I think I made it through the initial impulse but if I go back in that store while that sale is on I'm doomed! Shocked

Oh I'll Get a nice varmit or tactical in 223, you can bet on it.  This one will be exactly what I want though no compromises.  The gun at Dick's is nice and close to what I want but not exactly.  The price is what almost hooked me.  The Browning A-bolt was a great buy and I am not sorry I did it!  It is a beautiful gun and I will really enjoy it!  However, this one I want to make sure fits me better.  The A-bolt only has a 13.5" LOP.  I have ape arms and my LOP is 15.25".  So an adjustable LOP stock for the next one is a requirement!

Gunophile sounds BAD and would probably require you to be on a national register somewhere.  How about a Gunologist? Cool

You're correct Bud, on reflection that does sound bad - kind of a perversion (although may fit some here, right BD?).
 
Will have to think about a more appropriate term.

My wife actually said my new .458WinMag is "pretty"...  is that a compliment??
Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.
