« on: November 05, 2010, 03:44:51 AM »

I would look at an Ar 15 in 25 wssm, 300 ossm, 6.5 sporter/6.5 grendal, 6.8 spc, 458 socom, 30ar, 358 wssm, 338 wssm, 7mm wssm and Im sure there are more cals that would work. The great thing about the AR is there is a huge after market for it and we all know they are tried and true  :twocents:

Probably best to buy the BAR.  But if it's not going to see a lot of use, and long shots(300+) are not in your plans, can't go wrong with Remington 740,742,or 7400.  And you can usually find them pretty cheap. My Mom's 30-06 in 7400 still shoots lights out with 180gr remington corelokts.  Have heard some complaints of accuracy, although have heard it usually explained to be copper fouling.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

AR 10 in 7mm-08 or AR 15 in .450 Bushmaster.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Couldn't have said it better.  Have uppers in 17 Remington, 223 (of course), 25 WSSM, and will have one in 17 Practical and 30 OSSM soon.  Antelope don't like the 25 WSSM at all.  My wife even wants one for next year when we go speed goat hunting again.

Only if you buy over priced remington built AR's, I've handled a few and always put them down in disgust. No AR that costs so much should have such a pile of crap for a trigger. The camo job is nice...
