iron buck Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Anyone planning on buying something new for their collections this year? While I am waithing for my custom LH mauser 35 Whelen to be finished I took the plunge and bought a new (1960s vintage ) Savage 99F in 308. I always wanted a 99 I could scope. Just to complete this retro package I picked up an old Redfield Widefield 4x scope for it. It should be a fun hunting rifle. So what do you guys have in the works?

too_pointer Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? iron buck, sounds like a good plan for you I spent alot, for me, last year on a Beretta o/u 20 ga. I don't know what I might do this year yet ? It is possible I might get back into shotshell reloading, if I do, I will need everything for it. A far as rifles, I would like a new .22, probably a 10-22. too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? Sounds cool. Is your Mauser using the CD action? I picked up a CZ 452 Varmint in .17 HMR a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron buck Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? Yes my mauser is a CD action. I was going to use a McMillan stock, but they consider it a custom application and teh cost is over $600 . So I most likely will be using a PA stockmaker & a nice chunk of XX or XXX english walnut I am also going to use a 3 position Gentry safety & timney adjustable trigger. When complete it will wear a Leupold VX-III 2.5-8X scope (my favorite). I may also have a quarter rib & front sight mated to the barrel. I will post pictures as teh project progresses. I already have some pics under the 35 Whelen link in your cartridge sticky note section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? Yeah, I remember that one now. They say your memory is the 2nd thing to go. You might contact Richard's Microfit and see if they have left handed M98 stocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? No more guns for me this year. Gotta buy a scope,,,probably this summer. Thats it. Saving for bear hunting and the mount from last year I had done right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? i dont think i'll be getting any more guns either. if i do it will be a shotgun, Remington 1100 in 28ga. i bought a Browning BLR .300 WSM in december, so that put a little dent in the wallet i still have to get a scope on it. it will probably have one by the end of may when college is done and i'm working.

iron buck Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? How do you like that BLR? That seems like it would be a great package with the short mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron buck Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? AJ Thanks for the link I will call them Monday. Maybe my rifle can be finished sooner than I thought. If I go the full custom route I'd be lucky to have it by hunting season . But the guy I would have do it, Gary Stiles, makes some outstanding traditional stocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tped Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? I have a Kimber Montana 300WSM on order. I have already purchased 2 new bows this year and I think that should do it for 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archerjg Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? Good luck with your Mauser when it comes in. I am looking at a Winchester model 70 Sporter 3 in .270 or a Remington Model 700 CDL in .270. Either one would be left hand.

Guest Colorado Bob Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? I'm just about done with getting new guns. I'm going to spend my money on hunts. Plan on a caribou hunt & the usual elk hunt in October. Also plan on bidding on a pig hunt in TX at the local NWTF banquet this coming weekend. If I get it at a good price--I may try & combine it with a Rio hunt or an exotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut_Buster Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? I;m lookin at a Browning BAR in 270 WSM or just 270. I'm a WSM fan so i'm leaning to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? I'm just about finished with this years project gun. I picked up a very clean Rem. 700 ADL in 7mag earlier this year. Came across a used HS precision stock in one of the local shops. Picked up a complete BDL triggerguard and mag box off of eBay. Purchased a Shilen trigger and Burris Pos-Align rings then topped it off with a Leupold Vari-X III that I traded dartonman a shotgun for. I went ahead and bedded the action and filled the barrel channel then sent it off to a buddy for a paint job. He's gonna paint the stock olive drab with black splatter. Hopefully I'll see it within the next week. I'll post pics when I get it back.... hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? After building a new bolt gun last year, I promised myself no new toys for a while. Well.........I ran across a Winchester Model 94 XTR in 7-30 Waters (very rare combination) which was the hardest piece to find for a little collection I'm accumulating. It apperad to possibly not even be fired. So............ ...........that's my toy for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longislandhunter Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? I'm thinking about purchasing another pair of small binoculars for bowhunting and perhaps a pistol for deer hunting, although I'm not sure which one to purchase. I always wanted to try handgunning for deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerhunter10 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Re: Any new toys planned this year? I am thinking about buying a Remington 25-06 to add to my collection of one rifle. I have a 7mm-08 now and I want to buy a 25-06 to hunt with too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
