Real nice collection for 08 Bushy, how has the 338 with the Millett scope checked out? cc

It's awesome. I love the turrets, coin slots are kind of a nuisance. Not to mention the clarity of sight. She's got a little kick to her for sure. I'll post some pics of range results.

Thanks for the comment! -Nate

Those look real nice. The .338 is a little more gun than I want to use, but I doubt if you are hunting squirrels with it.

Looks like a Nikon 3X9 Prostaff on the 270. Good optics !!! Got three myself.

I like that Benelli!
You must have a better job then I do.

Jim,

He doesn't have a better job. He is just single with no X or kids.

All of HIS money goes in HIS pocket.

I figured he must a hit the Lottery.

WTG Bushy!

What ya planning to hunt w/ all those heavy hitters?

bushmaster · July 20, 2008, 09:04:42 PM

Jerry, i just cant justify spending $4 on a squirrel

I set aside my old ithica .22 or the .17HMR for them. And your right on the Money with my situation. I figure that I should give my arsenal a head start before getting tied down. Pretty soon here (2 months) I'll be movin out to Breckenridge, Colorado. I figure that .338 will suit me for elk, moose, big horn sheep, and bear. The .270 is for deer and pronghorn. The 6.8 is about to be transformed into a predator rifle. I'm getin a new upper with 24" fluted barrel, tactical 4-rail grip, and will most likely purchase a big Millet for it.

coyotehunter1, right you are. I love the prostaff; It has been very reliable. I've pulled off 1/2in groups at 50yds with it. Having kind of a personal problem at the longer ranges though.

Jim, i stole that benelli for $200 from a friend who got layed off and had to pay the bills. It was an opportunity that i couldn't pass up. And you probably make more than me. I've just had some good opportunities this year.

If anyone is interested in the 6.8 upper as shown, fell free to PM me.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I really apreciate it.

Tell me a little more about the 6.8 upper. I might have a friend interested

bushmaster · July 21, 2008, 01:47:37 PM

well,

its made by Rock River Arms.
The model is LAR-6.8
A2 features
Surefire M73 4-rail fore end
extra heavy 16" barrel with removable bird cage flash suppresor
exactly 100 rounds fired through it
Still have the original fore end
Not a scratch on it
I believe $600 is a fair and honest price.

I spoke to him on the phone and he said he was interested but would have to wait a while and if you still had the upper then he would get it. I think he is registering on fins and fur right now but forgot to ask what screen name.

bushmaster · July 22, 2008, 12:00:15 AM

It's not going anywhere. So let me know.

thanks, Nate
