The official never ending 'what's my next new gun' thread.

Sorry- beena nutty year.

Did some reserach and found the gun I ordered is/might not be stainless, rather, a nickel/spray coating of some sort....Davidsons advertised it as stainless. IThe scope's coming off and going on my .22 too so..

chambered221

That would be grounds for a cancellation of the order for me !!!

Davidsons describe's it as: Marine Coat Stainless Steel. I'm pretty sure is not stailness, stainless don't need a coating and I ccould not find any SS guns on the Mossberg site.. Aint a deal breaker. If I don't like it when it comes it goes back, no charge to me. Davidson's is easy to work with. I am gonna call them on it though...

After I get the scope I want I might add one of these to make off-hand more fun and dress it up a bit... not bad for $139 and he's local. Heck, this shooter is gonna be all American made!

Couple hundred rounds.... Laughing

Right. Pass.

Least mine has a pad and a brake, unlike Buffy the BC Bruiser...if'n I didn't have so many issues going on here I'da bought one of those too and it is on my short list for sure. No collection is complete w/o a 45-70 Govt.

Some forms of self-abuse are fun. Razz

better correct that immediatly in "w/o a 45/70 Govt and a .375 H&H".

And once you have them you can start thinking about the .338 LM or straight on to the .50 BMG.

Now who puts a brake on a .300 WM??? I even have been driving my Land Rover several years without brakes Smile
