Re: Your next rifle?

Very seriously looking to see what the new Marlin XLR series lever action rifles are like. Been trying to choose between the 30-30 or the 35 Rem. Now they threw a curve ball at me with the new 308 Marlin Express (308MXLR) looks like a very interesting cartridge. All three will be great for the type of hunting here in NY.

Thinking about a Weatherby Vanguard Compact in 7mm-08 and getting it re-chambered to .284 Win. Also thinking of re-doing my Model 70 .300 Win Mag into a big boomer. laugh.gif

I can't believe Ole S'10 is gonna buy a sensible cal. rifle. Even though he threatens to screw it up by wildcattin' it. There may be some hope for him after all. LOL!!! grin.gif

The .284 Win is not a wildcat. It's parented a bunch of wildcats. But, in and of itself, it's been a factory offering (off and on) for decades. It would not be the only little gun I own. I have several. I just don't have much use for them. smirk.gif

Don't you worry yourself none about there being hope for me bellying up to a cup of the steamy brown marshmallowed barf. wink.gif The big boomer that's pending will scare all my little guns into the back corner of the safe. grin.gif
