Armslist has now decided to charge a monthly fee to contact sellers or create listings. I think its BS, guess I wont be using it anymore, where else does everyone go? besides here obviously

Thats 3.99 if you link a bank account; 6.99 if you use credit card. I thought the same thing, but I doubt many people will pay the monthly charge to list. It will only be premium vendors so the benefit of going through armslist (no tax or ffl transfer if local) is void.

This is True, every once in a while somebody sells something reasonably priced... but oh well, not worth it.

I am trying to help my friend trade his marlin 243. He is an older gentleman that has helped me get into reloading. Being older he has gotten away from bigger calibers and is looking to trade his marlin x7 243 for a 223 bolt action. He said he prefers an axis, axis 2, or howa with a synthetic stock. (There was one more but cant remember) he prefers these due to their light weight. here is his ad if anybody has something to fit the bill. His name is Michael. Thanks for looking! https://www.armslist.com/posts/12246917/phoenix-arizona-rifles-for-sale-trade--marlin-243-bolt-action-with-weaver-2x7-scope-

Anybody heard of this company? I am looking at buying some fmj .308 projectiles from somebody and SHO is the brand they said they were, Ive never heard of them or can find info on them. Anybody heard of these?

I have decided to replace the cheap flimsy savage stock with a boyds wood stock. This is stupid but I cant decide which color to go with. I am between the pepper color and nutmeg. My barrel and action are cerakoted midnight bronze (attempted to show in picture). I believe the pepper color is more grey than the picture shows. Let me know which you think!

Why is retumbo so popular? I just started loading and have only used IMR3031 for 223, 30-30, and 308.

It seems boyds is the only one who makes stocks for the axis... are there others I missed?

I will take the tool box and tools if still available

Kicking around the idea of buying a 243. tikka, remington, winchester, others? let me know if you have one you are thinking about parting with. thanks,

Very nice looking rifles!

Nice looking gun. A bit out of my price range

Right handed, im not too crazy about the tacticool stuff. Is a nice rifle though.

I am in the same boat. Not a target shooter, just hunter. But Id like to practice targets out to 500 so I can be a more effective hunter

Great condition Vortex diamondback 3.5-10 x 50. Asking $250 with warne two piece split rings, $225 without rings. BDC reticle

Sold

Anybody have a savage axis short action stock? Looking for an upgrade to the factory stock, not anything fancy with thumbholes or target stocks. Just a plain hunter style stock. I may end up ordering a boyds but wanted to see if anybody had anything that may be a little more cost efficient...

Updated listing. See Above

Thanks Recurveman, great advice. I have a 308 and 223 bolt action that I have been shooting with. Maybe I will hold off on getting a bigger caliber for now, and learn to shoot with what I have. I was thinking for bigger game like elk it would be nice to have a 300. I might look to get a 243. I think I just wanted to add to the collection and was thinking going big. I do intend to shoot further, but havent developed those skills yet. My goal for now is to be able to comfortably/confidently hit 500yrds.

Good point! I cant hardly shoot 300 from a bench yet haha. Need some practice shooting longer range, that is for sure. I am kind of just getting into shooting any further than about 200 yrds.

That is another thing I considered, maybe the weight wouldnt be a bad thing, atleast not when shooting. Though most of the time spend hunting with the rifle will be carrying not shooting

Ive got a hells canyon in 308, great gun! Did have a very hard to open bolt the other day at the range, but im assuming that was ammo caused? sounds like I might pass on the trades and just buy whatever I actually want in the future, I dont think the vangaurd is what I want and not crazy about the weight of the long range. Thanks for all the suggestions! Will update once I have made my decision and purchased!

First would like to say thanks everybody for answering my various questions the past few weeks as I begin my journey into the world of reloading! I need to buy a case trimmer now, the manuals seem to be close to the cost of electric trimmers so am considering going the electric route. Anybody use the Frankford arsenal platinum case trimming and prep station or the lyman express trimmer?
