That place looks like lots of fun! Not sure about when, but I for sure want to make a hunting trip with Nuke Em. I just got my new Tasco Varmint scope, 6x24-50 and am going to mount it on my 30-06 Remmington model 70 XTR. I inherited the gun from my Dad, it has never been shot, and is in pristine condition! I almost hate to mount anything to it and shoot it...well, maybe not lol! I'm not into shelf queen shit. I also have a .270, a .257 Roberts, a 300H&H and a 300 Win Mag that have never been shot.
That's a lot of guns. I don't have any serious hunting rifles. Just .22 stuff for plinking. What I'm looking at for a hunting rifle is the Ruger 30-06. It's $450 brand new which i like. Then around $400 for a high quality scope. I don't care for the composite stocks. Is there any advantage to that or is it to lower manufacturing costs? Was talking to my dad last night and he says I should get a Remington 700 even if I need to buy it used with a scope already on it. I wouldn't mind buying a new gun though. I've got all mine through trades or by finding smoking deals I couldnt pass up. Never really picked one out for myself. Don't want to spend a fortune though either. I don't see me using it very often. Just recently ordered some 80% complete 10/22 receivers so I can build Mary and I each a blinged up plinking toy. Those will be guns that actually mean something to me. If I ever find the time to build them. Gathering parts and tools to do it now. Will need to take them somewhere to machine the barrel holes for me.
Here's the rifle.

The scope I was thinking.

The receivers I ordered. The left out the part about the barrel hole needing to be done with tools I don't have and won't buy for 1 project. Hope they didn't forget to mention anything else.
