Rifle Shopping

[cmfr]

holy crapper!!! CMFR is still alive!!! HAHAHAA...

been in hiding... work, sleep, work, sleep, fishing, work, repeat...

so, rifle shopping. looking for a 7mm Rem Mag... looking at new OR used. anyone got any info for me? know someone who's got one for sale? details...

also, is anyone using any of the Thompson Center bolt action rifles? they look interesting, but don't know of anyone that owns one...

& no, i'm NOT selling the BRNU 7x57... that's going to the wife!

[cmfr]

& perhaps i should clear up one more thing... i want a gun that shoots, NOT a show piece that has to look pretty. but i don't want a POS either that isn't worth the scrap metal price...

I love my Tikka T3 7mm..... It did need a limbsaver but it is nice and light and shoots tight groups... I ended up buying a Tikka 243 after owning the 7mm... Really smooth action as well...

T\C VENTURE in .243 for coyotes etc, have had for 3 years. Deadly accurate out of the box, MOA if you can shoot that is. Only issue had a recall, new sear. Good all around gun for 500 bux. Good recoil pad, plastic clip (cheap to buy a spare $30) , really nice trigger(3-5 lbs) crisp no take up at all. No feeding issues, all around good gun.

I just picked up a 270. T/C venture bolt action last saturday at Cabelas its a very nice rifle as far as i'm concerned especialy if working with a budget. Its basically a high end rifle in a entry level class. In the end rifle scope and couple boxes of shells 900$ all in. Going out tommorow to try it out can't wait. Hope this helps you out!

Maybe toss on a better pad to suck up some of that 7mm. The gun is a bit heavier than my sako a7 so as a 7mm should handle good. The TIKKA or SAKO a7 are the same gun and are great if you wanna get to the next level. $700+! Shop around ,BIG stores have heftier prices. SAKO A7 combo with BURRIS was $950 plus tax. THE BIG STORE has the gun alone for $1199,WTF!

i have a friend looking to sell a 7mm, he has 2 of them, not sure what make but if interested i could get his number for you.

I've got a savage 111 fcxp in 7 rem mag, the combo unit with cheap scope, scope is no good anymore but the gun shoots straight, looking for 375 with the shells I have loaded(probably 40 for sure, I'd have to double check) there are probably a couple factory loaded shells in the mix as well

I also have reloading dies, powder h4831 and bullets(400 Hornady 139gr and 100 Sierra game king 150? Gr) and probably 100 to 150 once fired brass for it for extra $$

If your interested just send me a pm

This is the gun I bought a month ago, I fired two boxes through it.i was able to hit paper at 100yards right out of the box. I got it in the 7mm rem mag, I'm vary happy with the accutrigger so far...

I have a 243 venture it is a tack driver i would recomend to anybody my friends sone bought one in a 7 mm and it shoots the same as the 243 it is one of the nicest guns to shoot bolt design is nice they are smooth you will not go wrong with a venture i also shoot a weatherby 270 mag and the venture groups just as good and shooting factory hornady ammo shoots 1 inch groups easy.

thanks for the tips people... depending on what i get for feedback on some used guns right now, i'm siding more & more towards the TC... & if it's a black composite i might just have to get my brother to paint it in snow camo for me...

[jordanyan]

I got a 22 250 tc venture in snow camp I flipping love it!!!

[frenchy]

I have a Savage .270 in 111FCXP and a Savage .17HMR 93R17 FSS and both have been great guns and decently priced.... I picked my first buck with a Norinco SKS, so obviously look means nothing!

Found the achillies heal of this T\C VENTURE, SNOW. Froze up solid couldn't open the bolt and wouldn't strike the primer hard enough to fire. Back end of the bolt should be closed in. When it thawed the chamber was soaked. The bolt was never opened outside and only was out in the snow walkin for hour and a half. Gun was lightly oiled with G96 before i left. Fairweather weapon i guess.
