The "Other" box is a good place to drop wisdom if you're so inclined.

The rifle should balance at the front action screw when it's ready to hunt. Making offhand hits with a rifle that's light in the muzzle is far harder than with a rifle that's neutral or muzzle heavy....
Anything to be on the lookout for over there?

The last new ammo that I've seen in LGS was blue-box Federal 308 back in November.
I see 308/30-06/5.56/12-gauge coming back first, then 20-gauge/30-30/243, then WSM/6.5 Creedmoor/270/belted...
Around here, 308 and 30-06 vanished by Thanksgiving. 270 and 7mm Magnum were gone by Christmas. There are a few boxes of oddballs like 7-30 Waters and 38-40 but that's about it.
Dry firing is...
Slightly faster. If you can handle one then you can handle the other.

I read that article to say that the City of Minneapolis will again abdicate their responsibility to stop riots and arrest rioters. Instead, they'll use social media, "safety toolkits", and community...
Patience, Grasshopper. It will be worth the wait.

This is the 30-06 acting like the 300 Holland & Holland of about 20 years ago.
Okie John
Yes, but only if you handload and even then you need a 24” barrel. I’ve clocked a lot of factory 308 and 30-06 factory loads. Many 30-06/180-grain factory loads chug along a bit north of 2,600....
Is that related to the Dick’s Drive-In in Seattle?
Okie John
Yes, it is. You could do far worse than copying it to the last detail.

The 308 and 30-06 are basically twins.

I wouldn’t get in a rush on this. A Google search will find a lot of deals. Also check some local stores. Plenty of great inventory to be had.

Lots of folks make great rings. I like a Picatinny rail so I’d get low rings that work with that.
The T3x Lite is light in name only, especially compared to the Kimber Montana or other true...
Happy to help. Also check out the Mauser M18. It’s my next T&E item.

The rifles you mentioned are good choices. I’d also look at the Remington M-700, the Winchester M-70, and the Ruger M-77 Hawkeye at a minimum.
The Weatherbys you mentioned are all Vanguard...
It was probably a six-inch originally. You can tell it's been cut by the placement of the lettering, but somebody managed to get that half-moon front sight back where it belongs.

Your avatar has stood the test of time, sir.

Looks like I'll be in and out of Spokane a fair amount in the next couple of months. What should I do/avoid doing?
Thanks,

The Archives at https://www.collectorsfirearms.com/ is a good place to see what has already been done.

Dang, I'm also about six months shy of a decade with you people. I love that PF posters stay in their lanes and insist that others do the same, which makes the free exchange of useful information far...
If that’s a problem, then do NOT shop for Varget on gunbroker.com.
