    Yeah, I mentioned that I was also looking at Tikka in post #74. Here's the deal that I found ...

    There's also a sale on lightweight Kimbers at Kentucky Gun in all the calibers being discussed. They're a bit pricier at $640.

    My son keeps telling me I need a lever 30-30. What that really means; "Dad get a Marlin lever gun so I can borrow it."

    So? I want to get a Ruger American rimfire for my kids to learn and practice on...so that I can borrow it and easily swap the butt pad.

    Got to the range, sighted in, and shot for groups at 100 yards. It did about 1.5" groups with Remington corelokt and Hornady whitetail. 3" or greater with federal fusion.

    I'll stick with the corelokt unless something better comes up next year.

    We'll, here she is. Hoping to get it sighted in asap. I'll need to find some lower rings soon, but this will do for now.

    I see you got the Predator version with the threaded barrel. Nice pick-up. Where did you get that cool cheek rest setup on your stock?

    I'm having that 308 vs 6.5 Creedmoor debate too, looking at deals on Ruger American, Winchester XPR, and Tikka T3X Lite rifles. It's a good market to be a shopper right now.

    When I dropped into the Atlantic Guns Super Sale late last month to buy accessories, I looked over this same Predator in 6.5 Creedmore plus Vortex 3-12x40 scope combo, for sale THAT day for $550. Unbelievably tempting!
