I've done it :(

[TheCanuck]

I sold my 700 P

Now i am precision rifle-less. I still have my Lee-Enfield, but there will be no more printing sub half-inch groups for me for a while. It sucks, because it was my first rifle also, but it had to be done.

I feel your pain, I sold my 700vssf last summer. I sometimes wonder where she's at.

 

[Max Owner]

Why?

I buy my stuff to keep. I'll get a part time job before I sell anything.......

Now what are ya gonna get?

 

[TheCanuck]

I sold it because i wanna join the CF and it would have sit my safe here untill i could have got an appartment next summer. So i figured i could use the cash now.

But it's ok, I'll have HWSNBN build me something special from the ground up.Something in 6.5x55 or .260rem. I'll check the ballistic tables for each and decide if it's worth to go to 6.5swede.

In the mean time, i might just get a cheap .22lr pistol to plink. I saw a Ruger MkII with a bull barrel for 250$. I might buy it. 5$ for a brick of ammo really is interesting.

5$ for a brick of ammo really is interesting.

What? Where?

 

[TheCanuck]

how much is a box of 22?

 

[MPI]

An average for a box (50rds) $2.50-3.50 a "brick" (500rds) $12-20.

 

[TheCanuck]

Well, it's better than 35 for a box of 20 of .308

 

[Rohann]

Joining the CF? Cool! Army, Navy, AF? What regiment are you thinking of applying for?

-Rohann

 

[TheCanuck]

Army, PPCLI, airborne, so i guess that's 3ppcli in edmonton

 

[Rohann]

Oh awesome! I'm hoping to join that after I do a tour with my reserve unit.

-Rohann

 

[TheCanuck]

Hopefully i'll be able to do a tour too.

you could have loaned it to me for a while i could have taken care of it for you it could have rested in a nice pampered vactioning area for firearms.

I might have an Enfield for you then...

feel free to keep me in mind if you need a safe resting /vacation spot for your rifles for a short period while you do the CF thing. i got room in my safe for at least 5 more
