Accurateshooter.com strikes again...new to me rifle...

[TerryH]

So for the second time trolling through the for sale forums got me. lol... First let me say that both transactions have been great. There are some amazing people on here. I'm thankful for that. My bank account is not.

Newest acquisition is from forum member @Jasonc. It is my dream rifle. Jason is local to me and even brought the rifle to my door. Provided a ton of information. Let me buy fired brass. An amazing guy. The rifle is equally amazing. It's a great blessing to me to be able to get this rifle and to have Jason's help.

Not much for me to do here but I'll be personalizing it a bit as I always do. Updates soon. More to come...

Congratulations!!! What is it? Full description, please. I (luckily?) missed seeing that one!

Ok! I got the edit. Nice! Now, protect your retirement fund. Stay off the sales boards!

I have also fell into that pit. I own two rifles I bought off of here that I haven't shot yet, and what's worse is may not simply because I've changed disciplines and classes. Owned them for 2-3 years know.

For Sale forums....it's like crack...

Apparently my children are just inheriting guns.

Considering the deal I got on both rifles, I'm trying to convince my self that I saved money. lol...

I've shot the heck out of the first one, Tikka T3x .223. Have to create the proper ammo for the F Class gun before I can do much with it but that is in process. Hope to be shooting it this coming weekend. bummer that the local 1000 yard range is only open once a month and that day was last Saturday.

I think a crack addiction would be cheaper.

I'll bet you have trouble with home shopping network, too.

Beautiful rifle, congrats on the find!

No I seem to be ok with passing on that one.

Quite possibly. It did feel kinda like a drug deal though. I was at the ATM trying to get as much cash as possible out of all accounts to make the deal happen. Was thinking that I was gonna have to finish it out in quarters but he took a check for what I couldn't produce in cash. lol...

 

[hogpatrol]

NICE! Best of luck with it. Don't feel bad about spending the money. At the end of the game, kings and pawns all go in the same box.

 

[TerryH]

Well, it's all apart and headed to my friend Whit Anthony's place, Fox Fire Finishes, for a new look.

 

[beemanjohn]

I'm right in the middle of a 6 BR project, and the furnace went out. Glad I did not spend all my money on the gun (yet). Darn furnace cost a fortune now days.

Thats a sweet gun you have there! (pretty sure my wife would notice if something like that showed up in the vault)

 

[GSPV]

Nice!

My Sinclair micro-adjust bipod was in the mail box today so one more piece or the F/TR puzzle is accounted for. Was able to get it for $290.00 to my door with a handy Brownell's/Sinclair coupon. The action is at Cerakote. I am collaborating with my local Cerakote guy to do something pretty wild on the stock. We'll be doing the paintwork at my shop on Sunday. Just about there.
