The post whore thread.

The other thought was get the 700P, shoot it until I can save for the AICS, then sell the HSPrecision stock and upgrade.

But to be honest, the reason I don't like the 5R is the stainless barrel/action. I do not like stainless guns AT ALL!

Oh yea, and jim, i know, i know, there's a forum for that.

It actually makes sense to sell the HS and buy a better stock.

not liking the 5R because its stainless, however, is just foolish thinking.

have you ever met a woman that didn't like any store?

My wife hates gun stores.

Your honest recommendation is to get the 5R over the 700P? I love the buy once cry once mentality, but it would push this purchase back until April to May. Then I'd have to wait a few more months to buy reloading gear (or ammo), rings, scope base, bipod, etc.

Heya OBC!

It's not soon to be, its months away, if at all. Gotta convince the wife first.

Kids over again....reloading more 223.

I need to start stocking up on ammo cans, we ran of stuff to put these in. I wonder if I could sneak some tupperware out of the kitchen without it being noticed.

I know how ya feel, I just pilfered some ammo cans from other hardly used calibers in an attempt to organize my safe a little better.

What's another month or so? You can get it pretty quick, you just have to seriously save your pennies, like EVERY one of them. If you want it faster, I'm talking about pb&j and ramen for two months, while saving all the rest of the money.

my honest recommendation is for you to get what will serve you best, and not just for right now.

as far as the money for reloading, that sounds like an excuse to me, bro. Say it with me: Lee Classic Reloader. $35. buy it from amazon. All in one loader to get you started. $30 in bullets, $10 in primers, $25 in powder. Buy it in stages.

Youre on the right path by thinking of all the stuff that you'd need. Just think really hard about what your ultimate end goal is going to be. Actually write it down, make a plan, and REALLY analyze everything.

[TheBelly]

Yeah, I'm being a bit tough on ya, BC.

its only because I'd rather you get the right gear for you.

convincing you out of it will only solidify your resolve when you do make the purchase. If I try to talk you into a gun, then you'll just blame me if it sucks.

the first bolt gun I bought was a R700 ADL from Walmart. I paid about $400 for it, and when I get around to shooting the barrel off of it, I'll maybe get a different caliber for it, maybe not. That's my plan, anyways.
