Anyone here into firearms?

Sounds awesome. With 30 acres I'd be looking at the next rifle to be a bolt action sniper in 30.06 or 338 lapua etc...

Browning has a new rifle that would make an excellent platform to be modified for those long range shots.

That is sick-looking.

I'm actually leaning towards .308 for a couple of reasons. I'd really love to be able to run a .338 Lapua, but with how cheap I am I'd never shoot the stupid thing.



Also, sold my 1911 today. Dude that bought it has some great plans for it which is how I justified it to myself...

I feel you with the price issue... When you have multiple guns, you really have a lot to factor in. I want to get the browning in 7mm rem mag.

You sold the rock island? The great thing about 1911's is there is so much you can do to them so it can be a one of a kind gun. I'll take on a project like that once the climate cools down. (if you know what i mean?)

I see .308 as kind of a sweet spot. I may even wind up building an AR10 or whatever to accomplish that goal. 30 acres really isn't enough to need any more, and modern bullet technology let's me do what I need to with .308.

I'd love to do a 1911 project but I just can't justify it until I round out a couple more empty spots in my collection.
