[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 406455, member: 19372"] Stock hunting rifles? Well, sort of stock. Probably tuned up stock rifles would be more accurate. They are all in off the shelf calibers. .17 Remington, .22 Hornet, .223Rem, .22-250 Rem, .243 Win., 7mm Rem. Mag., .30-06 Spr. All have scopes on them and have been glass pillar bedded. All but the .17rem. have been inspected with a bore scope and recrowned if that was indicated. One (.22-250 LRPV) has been set back and rechambered because the throat was shot out of it. One (Model 10 Savage .243) has been rebarreled because the stock barrel was just plain awful. One, Model 70 .30-06) has had a recoil pad added. I don't have any custom built exotic calibers from hign end gunsmiths. There isn't much need for rifles like that in the PA woods where I hunt - I struggle to find a shot longer than 200 yards where I hunt deer. If I was shooting from mountain side to mountain side across valleys I'd probably have to get a new rifle, but for here, I'm good to go with more or less stock rifles. Fitch [/QUOTE]
