    Another rifle?

    I swore I was done. Just wrapped up my 28 nosler, put it into the safe alongside my 6mm CM, 6.5 CM, 6.5-284, .308, .30-06, .30-30 and .300 win mag. I figured I had all my bases covered and didn’t need to build anything for awhile. Then I realized I had an extra trigger and NF NXS in the safe, then I got a call that someone was sending me a stock for field testing...so here we go again.

    The stock is a long action, so that’s limiting my choices. I don’t reload, but I don’t mind buying ammo from Chad’s or copper creek. The only cartridge that I could see “needing” would be a predator/varmint cartridge in .22 or .25, but I’m not familiar with any of those built on a long action. So I need some suggestions from you guys.

    I was gonna suggest a varmint gun of some flavor as that is really the only thing missing from your stable. Maybe a .22-250 AI?

      Man I just got excited and looked in my safe and didn’t find a extra trigger and NF NXS in it

      Some people have all the luck....

        Well, I paid for them at some point, sadly the firearm fairy didn’t just leave them there one night.

            25/06 since you said the stock is a long action.

                  I’ll build the gun, if you take me hunting somewhere that justifies it

                    The justification is that a .375 is fun to play with.

                        With a 308 and a 300 win, I'd use the 30-06 as a donor and go 280 AI

                          I cant, the 30-06 is a passed down westernfield rifle from my Grandpa

                              You got 6mm thru 30cal covered.

                              Why not a 338? 338-06 (Nosler loads factory rounds) or 338 Win Mag.
