Looking for a........

You probably know this but the 721 is the long action and the 722 is the short action. Same gun. 25-06 would be a 722 being it is a short action caliber. The bolt release is different on these guns verses just pulling the trigger to remove the bolt.They actually have a bolt release in front of the trigger. I have a 308 in Win 88 but I am looking for a Rem 600 in a 308. Not a big fan either of the 308 but the Rem 600 in 350 rem mag just bring too much money.
 
Be better off to make your own. Barrels were too short. Been looking at the 350 Rem for quite some time, but as far as the caliber goes ? Be improved by a longer barrel ? But others will accomplish the same results. In my book the 350 Rem Mag just wasn't that good of a caliber. Remington putting too short of barrels on the rifles pretty much doomed it to obscurity. You would be better served with a 308.
I've been jacking around with the 358 Win. Kind of like it so far ? But the proof will be whacking a deer with it. The rifle is a little strange. 24" bull barrel on a Savage 110...Blond factory maple stock. By ballistics ? I'll call 250 to 300 yards.
It should have had a shorter handier barrel ? couldn't pass on the price. And lightening in other area's make a pretty fair rifle to tote around. It's not a brush gun.
 
Yes they do have a short barrel but they do have a collector value to them. Would it be a go to gun for me with deer.....no. But this day and time with all the local yokels wanting 308 and 556, I figured the 308 would sell quick. The main reason I want the 600 is because I don't have one. In another 5 to 10 years I will probably relinquish all my investments anyway. Of course I will keep what I need but a lot of my aquirements are for the future. I do enjoy looking at the workmanship in various rifles ( or pistols and shotguns) compared to today's stuff that is on the market that I wouldn't have if I could afford it. Take the 721.....just a plain walnut stock but the metal is beefy and strong. Meant to work for years to come. Some of today's stuff I don't think will last 25 years from now. Lot of throw away stuff being made nowadays. Plastic crap. We have talked about this before so you know what I mean.
 
You nailed it. With the manufacturing process these days ? I find myself seriously looking at firearms I wouldn't have given a second look 25 years ago. Part of it is quality, The other part is experience as time goes by. All of a sudden it's....Wait a minute here, Hmmm, what's this ?
Firearms and calibers that didn't hit the mainstream ? But were still pretty damn good, if not excellent. Just kinda got overlooked. Then there's snobbery or ignorance. Gun writers being the biggest snobs and bigots and outright bullshitter's....
This is a field that is always teaching me something new.....Probably the reason I've stayed in it for decades. And as aggravating as the Internet is, and biased, If you learn to read between the lines, A wonderful tool for information and education.
I'm wondering what direction the firearms will be taking in the future. Same with calibers. As far as I'm concerned, New caliber/firearms are marginally better, if not worse, than those done decades earlier.
 
Are you all familiar with barrel tuners.? Some people use them in 22 shoots. I was just kinda of wondering if they are necessary on a 20 inch barrel verses a 22 or 24 inch barrel. This would be a good question for Tom.
 
I don't even know what one is. I am sure I should but I don't.
I'm losing my mind. I was just skimming through and it dawned on me you ask about barrel TUNERS. I thought I saw barrel TURNERS. I thought what the hell is a barrels turner? Yes, I know what a barrel tuner is. I think they are little rubber things you put on a 22 to keep it from breeding and making anymore of them damn 17 caliber rounds. Kinda like banding a calf.
I'm sure someone has a jam up reason for using them but I never saw any use. They are to dampen vibration but if you are shooting a bull barrel in competition in a 22 how much vibration could there be? Maybe if you are using a 24 or 26 inch thin barrel it might help some. If vibration is such a problem why did everybody go through that phase of free floating the barrels. Just bed the barrel in fiberglass and that should fix that.

Well that is close Belve but they actually keep the barrel from changing position during the firing process. If the barrel stays in the same place during the firing process it keeps the bullet on the expected path. keeps flyers at bay. This can be critical in competition shooting. Especially when the barrel gets warm. Long range even more so. They can help hold accuracy of the barrel. The tuners are adjusted to the specific barrel it is used on. Even the backyard 22 shoots that I go to.....they seem to make a difference. Even on a bull barrel. It takes a lot of rounds to get it adjusted right. Are they critical to use in competition? Depends on ones type of competition shooting. Really serious competition....probably. Mine maybe not so much but they just add something to experiment with and play with. I have won some rounds without them but maybe , could win more with one.
I was just wondering about using one with a 20 inch barrel versus a 22 or 24 inch barrel. All barrels have some movement when firing. Of course a longer barrel ( to me) would have more movement than a shorter barrel.
In competition shooting an 1/8 inch can make a BIG difference.
 
They look like some of the things that makes a single shot into a full auto and the government will soon make a law and confiscate them. It makes a gun into a full blown assault deadly weapon of mass destruction mass shooter weapon.
The ones I remember seeing were like little rubber rings that they slid over the barrel and made the gun look like it had a goiter.
 
Yeah....the rubber ones are kind of like a silencer on a bow. They are adjustable to where it is placed on the barrel.
