Serial number, is it Springfield-SmithCarona-RockIsland? Can you tell where the barrels from? for me at best the value might be the action, so at least $400.

No I have not. I have been to Gold Hill UT, Sibley Mansion AZ and familiar with Manhattan NV.

As energy decreases shot placement becomes more critical. As energy increases you gain leeway in shot placement. But first and foremost you still achieve proper shot placement first.

Thoughts on Leupold VX-3i LRP 6.5-20X50mm scope
AZAV8ER replied to VinceDuarte's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
I have two rifles with the VX3i LRP 8.5-25X50 on each. After several thousand rounds over a couple of years shooting as far as 1000yds still working for me. -
If I was a resident and moved before the hunt would defiantly wait to change registration and license

Was the sire local?

At $3 bucks a round might have to take my 270 instead of the 6.5C.

I thought the NRA was started to promote marksmanship and latter organized the 1000 yard Creedmoor matches.

This will end badly, very badly for some. The price at this level is way beyond what is justified by the underlying revenues generated by this company. Think of it as the 6.5 Creedmoor of stocks, way too much HYPE. Be nimble, be engaged and don't get burned.

Looks like mostly contained by air tankers.

I would suggest that along with or in place of a custom turret also using a ballistic app. The flexibility and tunability of say the Strelok Pro is incredible. The app lets you adjust for a change in ammo or set up different rifles. Also while hunting you can make up a dial up card to exactly match you current conditions. I usually make a dial up card the day before my hunt that way all you need to do when time is critical is range, reference and dial. I just used the app to true up my dial up values, it turns out my Leupold Vx-3i LRP 8.5-25X50 scope has a value of .244 MOA per elevation click.

I back pack hunted for a number of years. First time with a full sized MOD 70 30-06. Then with a BP muzzle loader with a 32" inch 1' octagon barrel. The 7lb 11oz muzzle loader was much nicer to carry than he 30-06 at almost 9lbs. I had a R700 custom built in 270 with a skinny barrel and carbon fiber stock mounted with the smaller of the Swaro Z3 scopes. Shooting the lite 270 can be tricky as it can get out of hand so to speak and result in misses. My experience is rifle and scope less than 8lbs and more than 7lbs 4oz is a nice balance for me when it comes to easy carry and steady shooters. A Tikka T3x Lite with a scope around 12oz and talley lightweight rings will get you in that zone. I vote for the Swaro Z3 scopes for quality lightweight glass.

Thats a fair price. I would by it all if I had not just started reloading again.

Where my fellow Doge coin billionaires at?

Not saying what anyone should do, more consider carefully before risking your hard earned $$$$'s. The crypto craze is running pretty hot, got to ask are you getting in at the top? or hoping you are getting in mid bubble? Best not to put in money you will need next year, money you can not afford to loose or money that first might be better aside as an emergency fund. Other than that have fun & good luck. -

Bump for price drop
-
Cabela's has a used 243 carbine listed for $1000. I just sold a S & W MOD 28 and watched several auctions on gun broker for the prices it would sell for. Luckily I had a interested individual that was local, after watching the auctions we both felt the price I asked was about right.

https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1018225154?pid=461244&utm_medium=shopping&utm_source=ammo-seek&utm_campaign=461244 Price could be better but its not $60 a box and available (for now). This is slowly moving in the right direction

I will take it at your price or trade. I have a whole plastic tote of knives.

There were a couple of years in mid 90's we would find a number dead heads in the course of a 4 day hunt. This picture is last year and first dead head found in years.
-
I check ammoseek.com a couple times a day for 6.5C. $60 bucks is not the lowest price but that is where a lot is priced. Last two or three weeks some vendors getting down to $50 a box or just under. Berger 140 ammo was available for a short time today in the $40ish range. But for now $60 is kinda where it is, just need to get my loading bench going again
-
I will go $45 a box of the 143 ELD-X for 4 boxes, that's $180 for 4 boxes.
