RE: Are you Fickle?
 

Fickle in thought and temptation...yes! Cash keeps me from owning one of everything! Whenall is thought and said, I have two favourite calibers so far. I love my 6.5x55SE, and I think the .308W is a damned fine caliber. Truth is when I reason things out its hard to imagine a need for anything else...but that darned .280 is soooo tempting.

RE: Are you Fickle?
 

Guess I've always been a 7mm/.284 fan....owned and loaded for nearly everything in that caliber. The 7-08 is my current love, and although I've used many other cals. for hunting during my lifetime, I always seem to come home to one of the 7's.

Im not to fickle i dont think( if im understanding the term correctlly:D)

I do tend to go with the more classic /traditional calbers that have been round awileetc & mostly inexpensive types to( andmilsurp+) . Got rid of a 10mm& 223. pistol. But tend to keep what a buy for the most part.
(Frugal/tightwad?);)
Gota save them all for the kids& all the grandkids.

Trailer, Shame on us for corrupting a sane hunter.:D If it ever came to just one, I would have a tough time deciding between the 308, 6.5x55 and 270.

RE: Are you Fickle?
 

I used to have a .243 every time I went to the woods, about ten years ago I shot a 6.5 swede and that did it for the last 10 years it has been the swede. my safe is full of them. But I still have one .243

RE: Are you Fickle?
 

Most folks who try the 6.5x55 fall in love with it. So effective and yet so shooter friendly. I know that the 260 should be near idenical but its just not the same for some reason. I suppose its just that I have shot so much more with the Swede. Out to 300 yards I have 100000 percent confidence that anything I hit is going down to stay.

James there is also one thing better you buy the old model 96 mauser and re finish them new stock new saftey and bend the bolt, drill and tap that is the fun part and then you have on sweeeeeeet gun.

RE: Are you Fickle?
 

Right on.

RE: Are you Fickle?
 

Yeah I know. Before all this I had my 7 mm, 12 ga. and a 22 lr. All I ever required but now reading up all types of caliber's , optics, rifles and so on I always want to try something new. My wife doesn’t understand why, but they never do. Now if I could only get my 260 Rem...[8D]
