Friend of mine calls and said he got a bolt action pistol in a trade. Said he'd never use it and wanted to know if I had anything to trade rifle wise. I said that all I had was a Handi Rifle and a couple boxes of ammo. He took the trade! SCORE!!! Currently a 7mm-08 but that won't last long. It's not gonna be a 308, but the only hint I'll give is that the bore diameter will be .458... ON CLOUD NINE!!!  CW ********************** Get your W-GEAR shooting accessories NOW!

I think you made out like a bandit!  (I did once on a 221FB XP-100 - now my 7 SAUM).Regards, Rog (Buttermilk421) | |||

Heck of a trade Cody. You made out like a bandit. Are you sure you want to pull the barrel without a least test firing? | |||

Deal of the century there. Good score! A 458x2 in the making?  Rod------------------------------ It's not a break, it's a brake, unless it's a break, then it's broke ;-) | |||

Cody, Nice score. You definately came out on the better end of that deal.  My first XP was a rechambered 7-08. Guy rechambered the 7BR to 7-08 with the intent of using it for hunting and then got into bow hunting. I picked that one up back in about 1985 for $300.00. It included the remaining 17 rounds in the box of factory ammo after proof firing the chamber with three shots. Yes I still have that gun.

That was my first guess too. Great score on the XP! Ernie (xphunter) "The Un-Tactical" WY-SHOT 2022 June 20-22 | |||

I'm pretty darn sure its not a 458x2". I think its going to be a 45-70. Aaron | |||

You are probably right there Aaron-Now that you said that, I remember earlier posts. Ernie (xphunter) "The Un-Tactical" WY-SHOT 2022 June 20-22 | |||

Looks just like my 7br. I've been thinking about what I want to do with it. Bruce | |||

I would like to see what is left of the bolt face and the type of extractor if going to 45-70. That is a pretty good size rim on the brass.....473" vs .608". 458 SOCOM? It has .473" rim......

A Lapua has a rim thats not much smaller than the 45-70. Probably .020" or so. Aaron | |||

Phenomenal trade! | |||

Come to think about it, I have a Handi-Rifle CONVERTIBLE!! 22LR and 410 barrels. I am thinking you will regret that trade and want a Handi-Rifle and a couple boxes of ammo...Let me know. I will get it packed to ship....    Steve --------------------------------- "Life is a play before an audience of one.
