Get to play with scopes while you're there.

I'd look real hard at the used Conquest with Rapid Z 800 I have one and like it a lot.

Drew, I have a 7mmSTW (was going to bid on the one you got until I saw you were after it). Truly, an OUTSTANDING caliber/cartridge. One of the most accurate I have ever fired...
I've put three rounds in 0.74 in at 500 yards with it. Fairly rapid fire, uncorrected for wind. Mine is a Win Model 70, pre-64 action Laredo, but the whole 7mmSTW concept is awesome. Lots of room to experiment with loads, super ballistics, lots of bullet weights/type to play with. Of course, there was once a guy who loaded all my exotic stuff for me. He got a divorce and I have not heard from him since. He was a great munitions maker AND a great shooter. I really miss him, wonder what happened to him.
Anyway, I KNOW you are going to love that rifle. If you ever have any accuracy problems, PM me. There are some fairly easy fixes available for Ruger #1. You may never hunt with anything else again.

Thanks for letting me walk away with it KB. I am hoping that with the work that has been done on the gun already I won't have to do anything to it, but I may call anyway. I will say that the STW is one of the few 7mm rounds that I have even considered. I have a hard time thinking it will displace my love for the 300 Mag, but it might if it is as good as you say.
Right now I am looking at the 160 gr and up bullets. I would love to see if I could push a 175 @ 3000+ out of that 28" tube. I need Trigger29 to make me a few bullets for it. As for a scope, not sure yet, but I am sure SWFA will get me hooked up right. Maybe it is time for a Z6 or equivalent.

Cool! Incidentally, I know Pete. He lives about 30 miles from me, in Hempstead, TX. He's a really nice guy and does good work. I had him do some barrel work for me a year ago. |
