[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1744007, member: 110896"] Wow! You gents have really gone at it during my alcohol-precipitated absence. Good reading. I am ever so happy I stayed out of it, though. I'm not here to honk-off anybody; I just want to learn about shootin' a long way. I gave-away my two custom wildcats last week. Two handbuilt rifles, a fat Vortex and a smaller Vortex scope, pounds and pounds of various powders, hundreds and hundreds of .30-caliber and .358-caliber bullets, custom-made forming and reloading dies by Hornady and Lee, almost two whole bricks of magnum large-rifle primers, a number of special little tools I'd had made for reloading non-standard cartridges and a bunch of other little doo-dads I cannot now remember. Three Dewey rods for barrels up there around twenty-five and some inches. I figger about $15,000 to $17,000 to a friend from high school. We met in July 1975, so we have a long history together. He suggested I become a trucker in January 1993; have been one since September 1993. Over 2.5 million miles, with an A+ safety record. I just got tired of all the bullschumer required to go out there, set it all up, shoot abysmally, take it all down, drive home, carry it all in, put it all back into the respective places, clean the guns and wonder why I shot 2" groups from a scant 100 yards. I finally just said to hellsinki with it. I gave the stuff away and don't miss it. My next thing is going to be a 6.5mm Creedmoor. The offerings by Bergara look pretty good to me. The Premier and Pro models have caught my eye. I'm lefthanded; I like that Bergara offers LH rifles for the rest of us. The Bergara actions copy the Remington M700 footprint, so there are a ton of stock options. Got my eye on an MDT CSS-XL-LGBTQ thing. Can't remember the exact designation; I'll worry about that when it comes time to buy the rifle and the chassis... [/QUOTE]
