Default RE: Nosler 48 Sporter anyone??

ORIGINAL: oldelkhunter

If your only worried about hunting accuracy then just get a factory Remmy, Winchester, Ruger, Savage, etc...

Don't kid yourself it is as accurate or more so then any rifle you listed ..OUt of the makes you mentioned for a custom only one stands out and it is too heavy an action to build a suitable custom on and that is the WInchester, the rest are not worth my time wasting 2600 dollars..maybe 1300 dollars. The Nosler will hold its value and I can't believe you even mentioned Savage.

All the others have been around for a while, the Nosler just came out so who nows how it will perform. And it is also $2600, so yeah a full custom isn't out of the picture.

Full custom is 6k or so for anything that is an improvement over this

The Nosler is also just a regular push-feed action, so if your worried about feeding, just get the new Winchester Model 70 Extreme Sporter that is controlled feed.

The gun is a pig ..the nosler will be smoother and has better bottom metal... Hasn't come out yet how do you know what quality it has? Based on the 20+ Model 70's that have crossed my hands I doubt that I would buy another anytime soon. Too Heavy.

I honestly don't know a whole lot about the NULA, so can't comment a lot.

Nulas are allright rifles, I can't get over the lack of floorplate and such and the tiny bolt handle

HS Precison handle and fit great, not like a 2x4...

Hs precision stocks break at the wrist..their bedding block is abominable. The most overrated stock ever made. The Mcmillan and a few other stocks including the B&C medallion are head and tails superior to it,The Nosler has the best stock of any custom up to and including 6k + models. I don't know who makes it but it is a super stock and to boot it has the best floorplate system of all the guns you mentioned and you would have to spend a lot of bucks building a custom with that system in place.

Coopers are just awesome, and are almost $1000 cheaper...

And they are pigs as well and not as rugged as the Nosler. No Cerrakote finish


just bought a Magnum Research rifle, Sako action, Mcmillan stock, Kreiger barrel...whats not to like there?

I don't see any of them at gun shows and don't see people knocking down doors trying to buy them. WHat does it do that a Regular remington,winchester or ruger do? I had the Sako fiberclass ..which is the same gun without the krieger barrel and with the sako dovetail mounts. I don't miss it. It was a too heavy gun. It was a great shooting gun that handled great offhand butI like the 75's much better.

And like I said before, the Nosler is only available in WSM calibers. The others come in standard rounds
Some people that bothers and they shouldn't buy it. Your well aware that the 300 wsm is the most accurate big game round ever designed capable of handling anything that walks around NA and Plains game in Africa. Thats why Nosler chambers them. Plus the gun weighs a tad less then 6 lbs.



Now mind you I would have to drive 4 hours to pickup a Nosler 48 at a Cabelas store and handle it. If I found it didn't point and handle perfectly I wouldn't purchase it and waste my money. Just giving you the cons on the guns you mentioned vs a Nosler.
I was just saying that if all your worried about is hunting accuracy, just get a factory rifle.

Nope, doesn't cost 6k for a full custom, sorry.

Not sure how the Nosler will stack up against the Model 70 either...it might be better, might not?

Not sure who makes Nosler's stock? It might be overrated...

For $1000 less, the Cooper could get Cerrakoted and a Zeiss scope...

What does the Nosler do that a regular rifle won't do? I'm not sure how the MRI will shoot yet, its in the "cool down" period[:@]

Not sure if the .300 WSM is the most accurate big game round of all time, how did you come to that conclusion?

I am going to Sportsmans Warehouse this weekend, hopefully they will have a Nosler I can check out.
