I am still keen as mustard Mooseman. But I'm sitting on the idea of a powerful magnum at the moment, as I'm struggling to see when I'm going to use it. Last time out, every time we saw deer I asked...

All good, just got home, showed the wife what I ordered her, and love all round. CZ 527 Carbine in .223... 18.5" barrel, 1:9" twist. That should get a 65gr GameKing up to 2900-3000fps and that'll...

It would be lovely, but maybe a bit too nostalgic. This rifle will get a hard time, and $2k++ for an antique won't float her boat.

Alright fellas, been given the hard word. Has to be .223, so that's a fast twist, 60-70gr bullets trundling along at high 2000s. She's decided she wants flat and fast.

Personally, if it was me,...

Shearer, my first suggestion was a BLR, then I saw how dear they are now. She ain't gonna like >$2k.

Levers... just had...

No, pausing for maximum effect!

Tommy, used is fine, with the obvious caveats on condition. That ZKK is what I had when I was a pubescent twerp!

Definitely after a carbine, and probably a lightweight synthetic.

The Wife has...

A Ruger Scout Rifle in .450 Bushmaster would give me a stiffy but I suspect I wouldn't have anywhere to put it if I get her one of those.

Man that Baikal double rifle (twin .223) looks interesting. Anyone handled one of these?

Some good suggestions so far.

Flicked The Wife a pic of the CZ Carbine Synthetic .223. hotbarrels, you're in the lead, that hit the spot.

Lots of cool lever guns come to mind, but as usual...

Absolutely... NOT.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the ideas, got a fun evening ahead of me going through all this.

The Wife, she's asked for a new rifle, for Her.

This, is a good thing. Her specifications are however a little different to what I'm used to. The conversation so far has resulted in the following...
