40-year-AZ-hunter

I can shoot hole to hole with my 6.5-284 at 100y ,you want bet? Heck no. I was making the point that you have one great rifle. I just wish I could do nearly as well. Who is your builder?

.05 MOA. Wow! That's better than most any benchrest rifle. I'm not sure I could even measure .05". Wonderful!

Recently acquired this 1974 Remington 700ADL 30-06 as part of a package deal. The barrel is 22". The stock has some normal handling scratches from being hunted, but overall is quite nice for 40 years old. I do not know the round count, but the rifling looks sharp and bright. Minor bluing wear. The bolt face still retains most of its bluing so I wouid guess it is fairly low round count. The configuration is all original - stock, finish, sights, buttplate. Has Weaver bases and Weaver rings. Prefer FTF in N. Phoenix. Bruce 602-633-5208

Ruger looks like 10/22 rather than 77/22.

Thanks so much Thomas! It was great meeting you. Bruce

Not associated with Dicks, but just saw they have Remington 700 Varmints and ADLs on sale on Black Friday (actually starts on Thursday PM) for $400 after rebate. Doesnt say in the ad but the picture shows a scope so I'm assuming its that package with a Remington scope they sell. They also show the Rem 770 with a scope for $250. I almost bought one of the varmint 700s last year when they had them on BF, maybe this year.... http://bfads.net/Black-Friday/Dicks-Sporting-Goods/Ad?page=2#viewer http://bfads.net/Black-Friday/Dicks-Sporting-Goods/Ad?page=8#viewer

Sorry if it's a wild goose chase guys. Last year at mid-day on Friday they had lots of them in different calibers available in the N. Phx store. If I'm by there on Friday, I'll check again this year. Update - since I live in Flagstaff and dont want to drive down if not available, I just called the N. Phx store (623-434-3388) and talked to David the Mgr in the firearms section. He said they have a reasonable stock, BUT either tonight yet or during the sale, they will special order any available caliber (for the varmint or ADLs) at the Black Friday price and can pick it up within about 2 weeks.

I'd look at actual sales on ebay rather than asking prices. I think you'll find them generally WAY less than $600. There is quite a difference between Accu-track and Accu-range too. Good luck with your research. I've owned a number of them.

We're gonna love it. Thanks Travis!

Thanks to a great guy! Jake went out of his way to help me get these tires. I sure do owe you some of that good sipping whiskey! Surely one of the great guys on this site. Thanks Jake.

I tried to send you a message but your inbox is full. I'd like to buy the scope and rings if you can just hold them for me until I can have someone pick them up in Tucson or Marana. It will probably be a while as I'm in Flagstaff, but I can send you the funds right away. Thanks, Bruce

Depending on how you feel about the requirement for background checks between private parties, the "compromise" bill put together for discussion in the US Senate next week will limit the ability to buy and sell firearms thru CWT and other forums, etc. The bill says in part that any sale that results from any posting online or in a publication will be subject to a background check. Here is the exact language. Pay close attention to (. "it shall be unlawful for any person other than a licensed dealer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed importer to complete the transfer of a firearm to any other person who is not licensed under this chapter, if such transfer occurs- "(A) at a gun show or event, on the curtilage thereof; or "( pursuant to an advertisement, posting, display or other listing on the Internet or in a publication by the transferor of his intent to transfer, or the transferee of his intent to acquire, the firearm."

Just happens to carry his new, in the box, rifle with him on business trips so he can sell it while he is gone. Ummmm

Crab0811 - Sent you a private message yesterday.

Youj also can not put out a "want" (intend to acquire).

Be careful paying up guys. There's a lot of chatter from the MSM now, but the public's attention can only be held on this tragedy for so long and once it dies out, there will be a lot of resistance to new gun control. Even Dem Senator Joe Manchin from W. VA. is backpedling on his "supportive" statements on gun control of a few days ago. S&W stock and Ruger stock dropped a bunch yesterday on the hysteria and today after some reflection the stocks have gained back most of what they lost. Just my opinion.

Earlier Mark Vs in 257 from Germany were 24" as were many of the earlier Japanese rifles with wood stocks.

+1 on shelter dogs. Mine have been all "rescues" for the past 25 years. It makes you feel great and (while I know it's irrational) they do seem to act like they know you saved their life.

Hi Danny, I'll take the 3 boxes. Sent you a PM. Thanks. Bruce
