JKR advice wanted

[Chris]

Yeah 1.25 a round hurts.

It gets even worse when you start looking at the .338 Lapua

Story of my life... haha! I think the same could be said about my Jeep.

Got the firearms lecture as well. I'm a sucker for Mausers. FN's, Mauser Banners, Zastavas, Husqvarna's...especially the big bores.

We will be, ahem, focusing on JKU and TJ parts for the forseable future...

I have an old 8 mm Mauser my Dad gave me years and years ago.

Ever shoot it? A good Mauser action is amazing. US 8mm is way under powered though. About like a hot 30-30. The European 8mm is nice. Right up there with good quality 30-06 for power and accuracy. The true Mauser actions with the guide rib on the bolt are smooth and fast.

Off topic eye candy:

Wow what a beauty!

Right!? Don't misunderstand, it's not mine. That rifle is probably valued at more than my first house. It sure is pretty though.

I started to look up on you my man, now what?

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm just a po' ridge runner from the wet side of Oregon. The closest I've come to something like that is the wife's Brno in 7x57mm and a Husqvarna in 9.3x62mm that I found in a hole in the wall gun shop down in Salem. Still regret not snatching that one up. A true beauty that could hunt anything.

lol. I am no longer in my prime. All I got back home is a sling shot and a bunch of coon traps.

Me neither. But hey, never underestimate the utility of a good $10 wrist rocket!

 

[bobthetj03]

Umm, derail? I thought you were buying a JKR? Lol!

 

[Chris]

The only thing missing from this thread is the master thread derailer himself... @Squatch

 

[bobthetj03]

Oh, I can derail up there with the best of em, but yeah, Captn. @Squatch is king!

 

[Boinked]

@Squatch in action.

 

[TJ2]

Camped out in the woods chillin', let's give him a break.

 

[Squatch]

I'll forever live in infamy...

 

[TJ2]

Now officially derailed.

 

[StG58]

After consultations with the business partner, we're building a JKU Sport. Upgrading existing hardware, as it were.

Derail away...
