[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 1892732, member: 113003"] I’m in a puzzling spot. I own 2 really nice custom rifles. How I chose them is a long story. They are both great all around choices but I’d like to get opinions on how to get a bigger range of uses. I mainly hunt deer but plan on going West or North for other species...elk, Mulies, even Red Stag. Both rifles are setup, shoot great if I do the job, and I love them both. #1 is a 280ai, Ag alpine hunter stock, Alamo action, Bartlein 3B 24” barrel,jewell trig, 419brake....load is 57gr H4350 168gr Berger VLD hunter getting 2909 FPS and consistently .4moa. Scope is S & B Exos 3-21x50 and give the glass an A+ Rifle #2 is a 6.5SAUM, Borden action, Manners stock, Hart Sendero barrel, Jewell trig, custom brake....load is 140gr Berger VLD Hunter, 60gr R26 getting 3105fps and shoots tighter than gun #1. I’ve gotten several .25 and less 3shot groups. it’s topped with a Swarovski Z8i 2.3-18x56.....just as clear and bright as the Exos with a bit wider FOV. So did I screw up and buy two rifles that overlap too much? I don’t wanna get rid of either and god knows I can’t afford a third. thanks to all that take the time to reply. [/QUOTE]
