So, fo everyone buying tickets for the new raffle, let's hear your choices for chambering, setup, etc. I have lots of ideas, but I want to hear others. One looks like this: 6.5-Dakota 2.015", 358-375 Dakota, 416 Dakota. Or 6mm-308, 358-375 D, 416 Rigby. I do like the idea of a "set" of cartridges, rather than just my favorite in each length. I'd like to stock them as a set, as well, but in a varminter, classic hunter, and African style. Your ideas? | ||

.257 Roberts AI, .30-'06AI, .375AI. All set in one of the more upscale laminates with a fixed power Leupold 6x42 on each. | |||

quote:Typo. Meant to say "6.5mm-08." BTW, The middle length action can hold 'cats up to 3.65" I believe, the Mag goes to 4". Correct me if I'm wrong. | |||

6.5-08, That's the 260 | |||

Yeah, a 6.5-08 is a 260 Rem. What's your game anyway? As for me, I'm going with a 6.5-284 for the short action, one of the 458 mags for the mag action (still studying on it). I have no idea about the middle one, maybe 35 Whelen. | |||

Hmmm ... have a .308, 308 Norma Mag, .338 Win Mag, .375 H&H, .416 Rigby and a .470 NE. Might be prone to go with something like 7mm-08, 9,3 x 62, and .458 Lott. That would make a pretty nice set of hardware when added to what is already in the safe. What a tough choice this would be! (But someone will have to make it!) | |||

Hmm, haven't given much thought to it as am not a lucky person when it comes to lottery, but I think I would like a battery of 6x45,or the 6.5x45,300weatherby,and either a 9.3x70 or the 400H&H just to be different | |||

quote:Meant to say 7mm-08 - no, wait. Just kidding. Yes, The Big Green does like to call it their's. I do believe I have to side with A-Square on this one, though. Might doesn't make right. BUT ANYWAY, I definitely want a 6.5 of some sort for that short action. Apparently the "short" can hold up to 3.1" cartridge, and this opens up a few "x57" possibilities, as well as the 375 Steyr, or maybe even a new wildcat on a 2.315" Jeffery case. The NSSM (Not-so-short magnum) Hmmm, how far will that $10k go...? | |||
