Re: Toying with getting a new toy
Ha, the other buyer needs wife approval.
I'm still in with a chance.
Better not be anyone here trying to snipe me (as I look towards NSW)

Not me. Don't have a wife to ask that sort of stuff.

Re: Toying with getting a new toy
I thought you wanted a Buchan spotlighting rifle?
That's another sporter with a 3-9 scope.
Save some money and just put a brake on your 308. Same same

Re: Toying with getting a new toy
See, I can do it!
I was thinking of you at the end of the Ausbigvarmint trip. I folded my popup tent first go. AND NO ONE WAS WATCHING. no witnesses. Funny how struggling with it attracts a crowd

Re: Toying with getting a new toy
It's not exactly what we were discussing but it was a good deal... and who said all rifle purchases need to be sensible?
The scope won't stay on it for long.
As for putting a brake on the 308, I'd be doubling the weight of the barrel. Marlin barrels are rather thin.

It always goes well when no one is watching. Practice makes perfect.

Success! My job here is done.
BTW what are you next planned bang stick purchases? May as well get them started now too.

More likely I'll be selling off the Marlin, I hear Camel pays top dollar...dashooter wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2017 4:25 pmThe Raven wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2017 4:23 pmYou bastarddashooter wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2017 2:48 pm This could be a goer. Good price and has muzzle break to keep lift down.

Marlin bolt guns are made with Commie quality, based on my example
