Ive been watching gunbroker every night for the single shots. I ran across this one tonight. Man does it ever have some nice wood on it. Its a 308 and I love that caliber but I dont really need a 308.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

You aren't kidding about the wood on that one - someone got a pretty nice deer gun for $350 - if they are willing to take that nice piece of walnut into the woods...

Yornoc3,

I was wondering if you could tells us how the rifle balaces in you hands. Does it feel rear heavy, front heavy or just right.

The rifle balances just behind the hinge pin, I'd say dead neutral. Adding a scope and mounts will probably make it slightly butt heavy, but not much with a light scope. Also, since I found some 45-70 snap caps, I can report that the trigger pull is a lot less than the weight of the rifle, in the 4 lbs range, I'd say. It's pretty crisp, too, no creep, just a little over-travel. I was surprised at that, I thought the safety features might make the trigger a bit "spongy" or "creepy".
I've been remiss on getting some pic.s up, but it's on my to do list ;) .

Cabellas in Denver today. Two single shots. One in 223, another in 243. Beautiful rifles and very easy to handle, lightweight and quick to the shoulder. Very solid.

I am thinking the 243 will be my choice, since I don’t want to wait on the 270.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.
