STOMP442

I have a new in box Rem 788 short action Boyds lightweight thumbhole stock in forest camo. I screwed up and ordered a short instead of a long and rather than deal with Boyds on the return and paying a restocking fee I would rather sell to someone who needs it. This stock has 6.75" screw spacing center to center and will fit the .223 and .22-250 caliber 788s. This will also fit a few .243s depending on what year they were made check your screw spacing to know for sure. Asking $125 shipped to the lower 48.

Scott the 6mm will be a long action as well. These 788s are really unique in the way Remington named them. Their "short" action is actually only chambered for the 44 magnum. Their "long" action is for the 222,223 22-250 & 30-30 which is what this stock will fit. What they call their "extra long" action is chambered in .243 .308 and 6mm Remington.

This will not fit a .308. The .308 will have a 7.00" screw spacing. This stock has 6.75" screw spacing. This stock was purchased for a .308 and I learned the hard way that the .308 is in fact a long action cartridge when dealing with the Model 788.

SPF. To BugleChaser.

Located in Safford. Up for sale is my 2006 Polaris Sportsman ATV. This is a great bike, I just don't ride it near as much as I would like to anymore. Runs great, it's been used but never abused.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing stuff and works in lots of calibers, 6.5 Creed all the way up through the magnums.

Now that is sweet! My kind of build right there. The 6.5 Sweede is an awesome cartridge. You can do anything you want to with it. Reloader 16 and 26 will give some impressive performance in that ol gal.

I just stayed at the Hilton on East Broadway for $100/ night. Very nice place; recently remodeled, heated pool, restaurant and lounge on 2nd floor. Very clean and very friendly service. Planning on staying there again next time we go down.

That should be a sweet rig. I would opt for the 7 twist for sure. That will allow you to maximize the cartridges potential and still shoot the lighter stuff just fine if you wanted to.

Yeah R16 works really well too. I have done two creeds now that both liked 42.5gr with velocities in the 2850 range. Half MOA or better with single digit ES.

You know the 6.5x55 and .260 Rem are ballistically identical right? That being said I just finished up load work on a Tikka T3 in 6.5x55 this weekend. Good luck on the sale but I think I would give that Swede a chance.

More than fair. This would make a great starting point for a semi-custom tack driver. Free bump.

41-42gr of H4350 will give excellent results. I have also found 48-48.5gr of Reloader 26 to also work well with incredible speeds.

I think this problem occurs most when its a big heavy bullet on a broadside behind the shoulder hit. Say for example a 200 grain bullet from a 300 Win or Ultra Mag hitting a Coues deer behind the shoulder. Deer are relatively narrow and if you go in between the ribs there is really not a whole lot there to make that big heavy bullet start to expand and by the time it does start to expand (literal milliseconds) its already passed through 8-10" of deer and into the dirt behind it. Bullet design and construction plays a big part in this of course. Those with polymer tips tend to start expanding right away while others like the Bergers penetrate 3-6" before expansion starts. All we can do as hunters is strive to make the best shot possible so that if our bullet doesn't perform as expected we have at least poked a hole in something vital and the animal doesn't go far. Unfortunately, there is no bullet out there that will work 100% of the time every time. There are way too many variables to account for and animals are just plain tough sometimes.

Lance pretty much nailed it. I would put my money on a canted reticle though. Double check the scope mounting to ensure its level and get a bubble level to check yourself when firing that you are holding the rifle correctly. After that, I would perform a tall target test to verify the scope is tracking properly.

Somebody better get that lady some whaaa-burgers and french cries.

I am running the 168 Berger at mag length in an old 98 Mauser with a Benchmark 9 twist #4 barrel. I am getting 2897fps and excellent accuracy. Nosler brass 59.5gr H4831sc CCI LR #200 primers

Burris signature zee rings. Cost about $60 and no lapping required and the plastic inserts allow you to add cant to your scope without the added cost of a rail.

Bump. Open to offers on the mini or trade for a bolt gun anything interesting. May even be interested in a nice rim fire in 17 HMR.
