So how does your 660 shoot? My 600 .243 is plenty accurate. Would be even better with a better stock and scope. Remington did an amazing job with these. Except the whole trigger guard issue.

100 yards, 100 grain HSM BTSP. 3-9x40 Redfield scope, 3 shot groups. Shot right next to each other on the same piece of paper. The only issue is I need a 15MOA rail. I was aiming at the orange target, that is how high it shoots. Scope is bottomed out.

Never, ever let Creed hold you baby, it will ruin it and you will have to get another.

I see you got around to mowing your lawn. How long did that take?

Hey Jud,

Nice stock...  Ordered one for Jacob's 338 and I am still waiting.   I put a Nikon on the 338 as well.

I see what you mean on the specifics (i.e. color, studs, what not), but still the Nikon?   WTF?  I'll be up on the 27th.  PM  me the details, I'll bring a bottle....something you can Nurse on....


And as far as huntin' Idaho, you know what we're both over there for....

I know what we're both there for, but it doesn't always work out. How bout this, about a month and a half, I'll chew $400.00 worth of Copenhagen... Add a few bottles of Snake River in there? Be ready for good times on the 27th, you gonna bring Skinner with ya? He's more than welcome....

Just shot a 1 1/2'' group with it, huntable, but hardly what I like. Shot better with the factory stock. These are 100 grain federal classics, gonna try some 90 grain siroccos in her.

Right on Jim!! Didn't you get big Jake a RUM? If he can handle it, it'll be a ass kicker. Never forget the first bear I shot with mine!! Never.....grin..

What stock, pattern, etc did you get Jim? Later

I just like bustin Jud's Chops.  I've owned one Nikon, and can't say I was happy with it, just not my cup of tea.

It will be as painful as your adventure of selling yours.  I kept an eye on yours...  65 bucks and three months of posting.

He got a RUM... He shot it 11 or 12 times with out any problem while we were siting it in.  I ordered an A5 with the plastic cheek piece to make it as light as possible.  He wanted a standard green.  I tried to talk him into a camo one but it was his decision and it is his gun.  It looks like it kicks... 

He told me I was too old to shoot it.  The shock might stop my old heart... LOL

Here's a pic I took the other night of it, that swirly blends in pretty good with the terrain around here.

Jud, That really looks nice.  I will show it to Jake to see if he will change his mind.  Crip it is going to take a long time before I get it.  I am sure he could change his mind a couple of times without it effecting his order.

Very nice
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!
