Out with '08, in with '09...

I bought an SPS 300 RUM and finished/bedded it into a Bansners Ultimate stock. It shoots lights out - my new go to rifle.

Also bought a 700P MLR 338 Lapua, which has been totally rebuilt late in the year into a custom 338 LM long range hammer. That rifle, build components and all the gear for reloading pretty much broke the 2009 budget, but you never know...
 
Sold a semi custom 358 w/ Vari XIII 1.75x6x32
Sold a Win Stainless Classic in 300 RUM

I am in the process of buying a Sako AV in 7 rem mag
I am also in the process of buying a Ruger MKII in 350 rem mag

Looking forward to maybe playing around with my Win 94 circa 1896 30-30 and seeing what it can really do with reloads

Cheers

2008 brought me...

S&W 686
S&W 22A
Glock 21
S&W M&P9 - Julie Goloski Edition

And...

An entire set up for a Dillion 550B with all of the trimmings :)

So I guess 2009 will be left to lots of reloading...lol.

If I whore myself out to 1000 fat chicks...then maybe a used 1911 of sorts.
 
In 2008 I bought:

Rifles
Savage 116 - 300 Win Mag (Sold)
Savage 114 American Classic - 7mm Rem Mag
Savage 12 LRPV - 22-250 Rem
Beretta Silver Pigeon V - 12 Gauge

Scopes
Burris Full Field II 3-9X40mm (Sold)
Burris Ful Field II 4.5-14X42mm
Burris Signaturw 6-24X44mm

In 2009 I do not want to buy any rifles at all. I want to finish my stock set for my Savage 99, and sell or restore my Swedish Mauser.

I hope to get a barrel from Jerry to rechamber my 114 to 358 Norma, and potentiall rebarrel my 99 to 338 Federal.

Could be an expensive year.
 
At the moment I'm not shopping for anything particular, other that I'd really like to try out the new Elite 6500 scope... So, I guess I'll need a rifle to put it on.

Maybe a 7mm RUM if I can find one cheap somewhere.
