    Lever rifle section idea

    I think it would be nice. I've seen a few tactical lever guns, some really nice, some not so much. I think it'd be need to see what could be done with or is already done but no one shared it with the marlin 308 and 338 express.

    Gunsmithing build on a ruger m77 action?

    I have a savage model 11 in 243 that shoots pretty good for factory. Once I shoot the barrel out I'll upgrade. When I got it there was almost nothing I could get for it due to it being a drop box magazine, now more and more options availible. I went this route vs the Rem 700 just because...

    Moving to Wyoming

    Jealous, I've always wanted to live out there for some reason. Get a nice little cabin and nice spread of land. Often thought of purchasing some land and building on it once I retire and just let it site there until that time.

    Thanks for the input guys. The PD I'm currently looking at has what I believe to be a part time SWAT team. There schedule is 10 hour days 4 on 3 off, I expect it's probably closer to 11 maybe 12 hours. I've been on 12 hour shifts 5 days week most of the last 11 years so long hours are nothing...

    first rem 700 many choices plz help me, long read
