Toying with getting a new toy

There is an old Indian saying......or was that confusus but anyway it goes along the lines or is similar to

"Beware the man with one gun"

Because he's gonna try and steal yours?

Ahhh, Ruger's marketing motto...

The man who owns one gun shoots it often and knows his rifle.

Just cause he shoots it often doesnt mean he can shoot anything with it.

[trevort]

the brand new stainless T3 varmint on used guns in 7/08 for 1240 would be perfect

[crackers17]

My pick would 308
Yes not best sambar not the best varmint rifle but can do it all.
Lot of pills available
Im with missed on this one..

Dont over look the Lithgow

Of course I could be rude and say half of whatever Camel wants but I won't. :lol

That's not being rude, it's just the first step of negotiations.

So mostly to be used out of mobile facilities and preference for not jumping too much. Ok.

This could work.

Or this.

The Weatherby is a touch above my price point but the 270 is OK (although I hate that stock finish)...

Make him an offer, say $1700 and see how you go (on the 340Wby).

Or try on this .308 for size. 22 inch heavy barrel and Bell & Carlson stock.

The world is your oyster.

Just go big than lol

[Camel]

Camel's Ruger 7x57mm for around 800 bucks with dies and 100 cases posted would be perfect.

Well good onya Trev, thanks for that mate.

Raven, just think you could get this rifle in a calibre that has taken on the might of the British empire and kicked its arse for it.

[The Raven]

I really appreciate all the good suggestions and sly sales techniques but remember I'm only dreaming at this stage.

Sounds like it's better to try reloads first before lashing out on another rifle.

Now this will sound like a silly question but is it worth rebarreling a Marlin (JM) from sporter to varmint? I've no idea what it might cost...or if anyone bothers with it.

It's rumoured the Marlin will supposedly take Savage barrels as it uses the same barrel nut system, but I suspect it just means they use a similar system?

[trevort]

Raven ever since finding that tikka I've been thinking of a 284 reamer, a kickin trigger and a muzzle break as the perfect Buchan spotlighter.

My bad. Heard 'need help with picking new gun' and I was off.

Yes purchase mentoring is living vicariously . Nearly as exiting as the real thing

No harm done. I never realised how keen everyone here is to spend other peoples money
