I liked it a lot, handled well and the take down ability served me well-was heaver than was ideal for how I used it mostly otherwise I would have probably replaced it with the stainless versions you...

.308

Horses for courses so to speak.

If the law allowed I would just use a large revolver for most of the hunting I plan to use this for.

I like that,like the blr its replacing I'll be able to...

Just to update this thread, if anyone is interested.

I have ended up buying a second hand tc contender in .308 with a older gunworks can and a Leopold ultralight 2-7 scope from a forum member.
...

Thanks 10-Ring, that second one looks very interesting. Going to spend some time finding and reading reviews ESP if I can find some that compare the glass to the z5/z6 series as I have a couple of...

Hmmm

I did think about single shot, one of the older-lighter tc's would be nice and would probably be faster to get ready from safe than a bolt gun,I do like extra rounds right there tho.

To...

Yea, but then overall length folded comes into play while folded unless it's e cat(and even that's debatable as you know) and one of the points of having it in the handlebar clamps if fast action-the...

Well my bike handlebars are 800 wide so in a ideal world I would like the finished rifle including can to be under that, the blr wasn't so I sometimes had to take the can off on some tracks.

How is factory ammo availability? While I would try to use home loads my situation dictates that easy factory ammo is important

I stand pleasantly corrected

To answer a few in one post

1-6 scope, because I have one on my 300blk ar15 and love it to bits so if I buy one of the newer ones and it does not stay on the new bush rifle it would become a...

The kimbers seem to be getting a lot of love, and would let me come in under budget-I'll probably go down that road in 308 with a odi can and a z6i 1-6 scope.

Could someone with a 308 kimber...

It's probably a good thing I found out via email otherwise words along that vain would have been very likely to be said.

To give the guy credit, he offered to pay for it strait away and is...

I'm sorry, I just don't think I could bring myself to buy a t3-for all the same resions your selling yours.

Is that ego or logic?
I'll let others decide for themselves but it's not what this...

Well, to be clear I have practically the same rifle with a acog not a elcan but I do have the elcan waiting on a 20" upper lol

But I do want a bigger pill at more speed than a ar15 platform can do...

If I was to go that way I don't have to spend a cent!

Ok, sounds like a kimber shoots plenty well for what I'm after (1-200m) And I even have had two pm's from people who have them for sale.
Probably going to go with a odi can as of all the cans I own...

Just trying to be a good bugger, I have a "few" and he is just getting started and has a wife and small child at home so to give him time to save up....
I think I'm going to give him a sported 303

Yea, he only just got his licence so the whole gun thing is new to him.
It happened at the end of his first hunting trip and I think he was asleep on his feet when they got home.
I don't want to...

He dropped it overboard in saltwater, they got it back after a couple of hours looking with scuba and then just put it in a gun bag and back in his safe for six weeks. It still had the can on (tape...

I like short rifles, and for shooting stuff at 5-100m I don't see any advantage to a long tube.
And most of the deer I have shot have been at under 50m

That's high on the list! Going to have to have to ring doc Watson and have a chat about how he likes his

Would blow the budget tho so that's why I started this thread to see what smarter people...

Btw I consider a 20" barrel very long on a bush gun

Thing is I already have a nice long range hunting rifle,not that it's got much use in the last couple of years :( so the ability to do both is not high on my list of thing to think about.

Being...

A pitty that kimber on tardme closes so soon as could have been an option. I need to get the $ for my old rifle before I can buy a replacement.

Off to look into the black bear.

Don't know how...
