A little jealous
« on: January 26, 2012, 10:33:51 AM »
My buddy is looking at buying his first hunting rifle and has been looking to me for guidence.  Looking like he might buy a Savage Light weight hunter 7mm-08rem this week and i'm not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous.

"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

Why do they have to make the bolt look that way?! Stupid! I hate looking at it knowing mine doesn't look that cool. Actually I painted my gun so mine looks like crap but it's hard to spot in the woods.

That used to be a 7mm Rem Mag, only thing left of the original rifle is the receiver and the bolt body.  Now it's a 300 WM   :P

Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.

i dunno if stainless is strong enough for the way they made the action.
