RE: Hey Big Country
....ORIGINAL: DANTHEHUNTER Well I just cant decide ,I see that the stw has some great potential but I just cant see it fitting in my cabinet.I thought about a .264wm but I have a 6.5x284 so that canceled that out. I just have the itch to build.I guess something inbetween a .300wm and a 45/70 would be more fitting.I have .220swift .243win 6.5x284 .270wsm .300wm 45/70 .50bmg 50 BMG's are too heavy to hunt with for the most part, though they sure are fun --- the shock wave is a real sensation. 45-70's are great as a close quarters lever gun cartridge, but hardly king of the "458 hill." That leaves you the wonderful zone of huntable, packable rifles between .325 and 416.... You might considera 416 Rigby, not for the faint of heart though. Or for something truly easy going and fun, yet effective, a 375 H&H.... One planet, one rifle, Holland's .375! Good Luck |
RE: Hey Big Country
Roger that ,I am one of those shooters that likes recoil.416rigby I might have to try that.It's on the list.I do like calibur spacing,thats whats holding me up on a decision.

RE: Hey Big Country
Yeah, and $5.00 a round really makes it worth it....not.

If per the usual, then I'm guessing no meaningful content put forward on last post.

RE: Hey Big Country
You know I have always wanted a 35 whelen. Never owned a 35 cal anything. But I feel it would be a nice caliber for my hunting, here is my calibers
204 22-250 223 Rem 243 270win 7mm-08 7mmSTW 30-30 308 win 30-06 300win mag 44magnum 45-70 460S&W I am totally void between .308 and 45-70 |
RE: Hey Big Country
Maybe you should get a Remington 673 in .350 Rem. Magnum, the 673's in my area are going on discount, and they're REALLY great rifles.
I have the .308 version. |
RE: Hey Big Country
Me too I need to add between them. maybe a 375h&h? maybe a 358wm

Build a 338-378 on a ruger #1 action and a loooong Lilja tube. Let me know how it goes |
RE: Hey Big Country
The 7mmstw can be a very accurate cartridge.The links below show typical groups from my 7mmstw rifles.
