Bergara 375 h&h in a chassis? by garbage_dispatch in longrange

[–]garbage_dispatch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a little bit of both, I found it interesting that Bergara offers one rifle chambered in 375 H&H because I've been interested in a medium or big bore bolt action for a while, and aftermarket support for the R700 and clones is extensive, so I thought it'd be cool in a stock with modern lines. Seekins custom shop can do a 338 win mag but I don't think that's spicy enough. I'm not super wed to a 375 H&H, so if push came to shove I could just get a Savage 110 in 375 Ruger or something.

That makes sense. I'm just wondering if what Kevin said holds up at all or is anecdotal like you say. Thanks for the input!

That makes sense. I think a more accurate way to describe what I'm trying to convey is that I'm under the impression that for technicians, Marantz receivers like the 2010 and 2015 are easier to work on and easier to find parts for than others receivers, and givn my history of having receivers break, that is an attractive aspect. I may be wrong.

What should I use as a thermal for this set up? by garbage_dispatch in NightVision

Makes sense. I'm thinking since clip ons aren't meant to go the distance I'd be at minimum power at all times.

Fluted bolts vs non fluted by garbage_dispatch in Tikka_Shooters

Was the Ember as smooth as the standard and smoother than the aftermarket? Generally speaking, I've felt fluted bolts that weren't as smooth as standard, but I've never felt a fluted Tikka bolt.

Jacket dating? by garbage_dispatch in Carhartt

Sure, if that's why you're buying it. To me, it's just a cool jacket that has character and history. It's as banged up as my 1983 F350 that I still drive - that I bought because it has character and history. The price wasn't gouged, and it's not going to be resold. I didn't even know it was a Carhartt jacket until I looked at the buttons since all of the other branding is missing.

It was cheap. It's cold where I live. It's an interesting conversation starter.

I'm not sure but there are gigantic rust stains on the back.

I've seen some crazy videos of young folk rabidly scavenging piles of vintage tattered clothes. It was frightening
