Well, I finally got my Remington 722 in 300 savage back today. I posted a story about this particular model and chambering and why it means so much to me, so I won't rehash that here. When I got the rifle it was beat up, rusted, and had no finish on the wood, but now it is almost as good as new. I will post up some pics of it later today hopefully. It is truly beautiful.
In other news, my custom Mauser in 280 Remington is also almost done. It has been a long time waiting, about 15 or 16 months, but it is so close. The stock is finished, the barrel and all the parts are bead blasted, and now that I think of it, it is probably assembled and waiting for me at the smith's shop right now. I am supposed to go pick it up Tuesday, and I am gonna get to the range with both of them on Tuesday also if the weather holds. I will post up pics of the rifles and the groups as I get them. All in all, should be a good week.
As it stands now, I am pretty well coverd for any rifle hunting I should ever do. I have a 22 for plinking and small game, a 357 for plinking and medium to close-range larger game (small whitetail, coyotes, etc.), the 300 savage for the larger game that may be a little further out, and the 280 for everything else I will likely ever hunt at the ranges I will be hunting. Maybe one of these days I'll head out west and need something else, but for now I am pretty well set up. Anyway, had a few minutes to spread the news and tell you all to be on the lookout for some new pics coming over the next few days.
