Changes in the safe

[headspace]

As I have officially limited my battery to 4 rifles, and I want a 9.3x62, something has to go and it looks like it will be my 308. Nice rifle but the 270 will do anything it can, and do it with class. It's going on the market very soon, the 308 I mean.

Sort of been thinking of thinning out my collection a bit too, but finding it hard to let go of any of them.

I've sold one rifle in my life and I regret it immensely, unless I was hard up for money I don't think I could part with any of mine

[basil brush]

OK
I will bite.
What type of rifle is it and how much?

I am in the market for a 308.

[headspace]

G'day basil, it's a Howa 1500 with a 22 fluted barrel, a laminated Boyd's stock with a Limbsaver pad. The scope is a 3-9x50 Leopold VX1. I'd be including a set of Lee dies including a Collet neck sizer, and around 150 cases, all Winchester. I'm thinking $1,000, but it cost a lot more than that. Probably toss in some 165gn Hornady Interlocks that it seems to like.

So what's on the cards for the 9.3x62mm?

[brett1868]

A nice package at a good price for someone thinking to buy a .308 which should sell fairly quickly. I only have an emotional attachment to my Sako 22-250, everything else has to earn it's place in the safe or its outta there. Recently offloaded a Colt 2012CLR and Barrett M98 which were both great shooters and in near perfect condition only because I combined both of those calibre's with a DTA SRS. Good luck with he sale and looking forward to hearing about the incoming 9.3x62mm

Thanks Brett, I may be keeping the 308 after a bit of a re think, but the 9.3 is still on the drawing board. I try to have a selection of rifles that will suit a particular job, and so far what I have is doing just that. However, I think I'll wait a little because the next rifle will have to be something a bit special. Ever since John Rigby and Co came back on the scene I've been very keen to get something with really nice wood and a decent blueing job. I just like the more traditional style of rifle. So the 308, being a good bush gun will still have a place, I'll just get another rifle but the selection process this time will be a bit more detailed, and the calibre large.

You can always buy bigger safes like I did so you don't have to limit yourself

Hmm that too is a possibility mate.

I'm like that throwing out most things I've gotta be honest. A bit of a hoarder maybe.

I found best way to whittle down which one is to go is compared two things and decide which of the two you'll keep and put it aside.

Then compare the remaining one with the next one and keep one of those.

Repeat with everything and at the end whichever is the last one left in your hand is the one you get rid off.

[Title_II]

I just need another safe.

[veep]

That works even better

Decisions, decisions, it's like throwing out one of your children.

At least it passes the hours
