Did you ever find out about the other stock? Have you shot this rifle much? Is it a good shooter? History?

I am trying to figure out what I should do for a general hunting and skinning knife. I am really looking at the Benchmade saddle mountain skinner but I figure if I am going to pay that price would it be any better to try and find a more custom built knife from a small custom knife maker. I want to make a good investment that I can use for many years and pass to my sons. All I have right now are some general purpose buck 119's that my dad gave me. They are ok, but they didn't make it all the way through skinning my cow elk last year before the needed to be touched up. Any thoughts on what steel and what knives and makers I should look at? Thanks Harley

I ended up with a Benchmade saddle mountain skinner for now. It is a nice knife, and I will keep my eyes open for a nice custom for down the road.

My dad and his buddies pulled a warty deer out of 20a many moons ago. It had a wart partially blocking 1 eye so it ran I circles after the first shot was missed.

very nice work.

.264 win mag is such an underrated classic round that I would lean that way. 6.5-300 weatherby would be fun too though.

I want, but I don't need. Great rifle though.

Lance, They are the same bolt face. In fact I even use .264 win mag brass or 7mm Rem Mag brass to make my .257 Weatherby brass since I am too cheap to buy real weatherby brass for my .257. I do wish they would do a 130gr .257 caliber HVLD. My rifle loves the 115gr. and it would be nice to get a little more BC and bullet weight out of the quarter bore.

I would love a 6.5-300 Weatherby, but I like to shoot my rifles an I know I would burn a barrel out of it if I shoot it like I shoot my 257 weatherby. I know I have at least 700 rounds down the tube on that rifle. I just love to shoot it. I have thought about making my 257 weatherby a 264 weatherby once I shoot the barrel out and have to rebarrel it, but it would basically just be a .264 win mag at that point with a different shoulder and not do a lot more that the 257 would.

Yes, I have heard this too. It would be a crazy flat shooter but I would worry about barrel life.

I love my 257 weatherby.

I am glad I have no justification for another enfield otherwise I would be in trouble. This is a nice rifle and I think the price is very fair.

Pro diesel in phoenix is good too.

The DPF is my bet too but don't mess around with it and get it fixed. Harley

Get it looked at before you roast a motor. Harley

My 4 year old caught his first fish in the bluegill pond so that was cool, but other then that it was just ok.

Just went. It wasn't as big or awesome as I had hoped. Not bad, but not awesome either.

I fall in the middle of that statement somewhere. There are a lot more bad A/C contractors than good ones unfortunately.

ARS isn't off grand anymore. They moved down 91st toward Olive. What brand is your furnace/fan coil?

I replied to your other post in the campfire area.

Grand Canyon Refrigeration - Martin - 602-326-8936 Tell him Harley sent you. He is busy, as are all companies right now, but he won't take advantage of you.

Do you have the original stock too?

First things first. I would like to give first option on the to someone's kid starting a job a needing a good set of boots or someone who is maybe on tight times. I have 2 pairs, both used size 13d I believe. FREE 1. Redwing Pecos 8" pull ons. NOT steel toe. Flat sole for walking on concrete. They need new soles but with a little TLC, cleaning and $75 in soles would be a great set of boots. 2. Redwing 11" pull on boots. STEEL TOE. I believe these are the waterproof models. They are heeled sole boots. They have some of the toe armor bedliner stuff on the toes to resist wear. They need cleaned and oiled but would be a great set of boots. I don't do construction or manufacturing anymore so I don't think I really need to keep them around anymore. Harley

I am in Peoria.

Not i. No cc hit yet.
