Buy a new rifle disease
 

Hi fellas….

I cant get rid of this “buy a new rifle disease” that I’m always caching these days…..I just bought a new rifle two weeks ago and I’m already thinking of what too buy next !! Has anyone else had this same problem with this damn illness [&:]?

Ok…the question is what cartridge between my 25-06 and .300 win mag do I need ? I think there is a gap that I need to close…or do I need to see a Doctor ? :D


P.s. already have a 22lr, .223rem, .338win mag and 9.3x62

I've often contacted this same thing. But lately it has progressed into handguns. I think that is because there is no more room in my safes for rifles or shotguns.
But back to your problem. Maybe what would help ease the suffering would be a nice little Marlin Guide Gun in blue or stainless in 45-70. Or maybe even the cowboy edition. Or for some addtional fun how bout a T/C Hawken 50 cal muzzleloader or maybe an inline.

Yes, I had it bad last year but I think it’s gone now... As for your question, the 25-06 would be the ticket to fill that gap...

Trailer....

I have both a 25-06 and a 300 win mag. Plus those I listed. So what do I need ?:)

Umm a 30-06 would right about int he middle of them. Then you gotta fill the gaps between the 25-06 and the 30-06 with a 270 and the gap between the 30-06 and the 300 Win Mag with a 7mm Mag.

Sorry, ... I’m a fan of a short actions so a .243 Win. , 260 Rem. , 7mm-08 or 308 Win. would do well as lots of others...:D

RE: Buy a new rifle disease
 

7mm-08 it is then.

I'd probably go between there with something like a 280 Remington or a 7mm-08. Depends on if you like short or long action

Konnari, you only think you have it bad.:D I am thinking of 270 WSM or something in 6.5 mm to fill the gap, on the low end a 260 Rem or the 264 Win mag for the high end. They are going to fill the bullet weight gap between the 120 gr .25 cal and the 165 gr .30 cal. and they are relatively flat shooting.

I'd go with the 7mm-08 I think it is just what you are looking for.
