CRAP the latest word from the salel of the house is the inspections start this week, may not close until llate OCTOBER
In the meantime we have to pay the property tax AND School tax due on it which just about eats up the last of my Mom and Dad's savings.
GOSH I hate Erie County, AND New York. I am SO glad I moved away from the regulations and taxes!!!
But while I am still lleaning towards the Sako .222 when it closes, I found another shop aI stopped in to today and clouded the decison even more....
How about a SWEET and beautiful used Ruger #1 in .218 Bee for $799????
Yeah, I think a little high especially in THAT caliber....with no scope.
But definitely an OLD varmint round that would compliment my .220 Swift nicely to be different....somewhere between a Hornet and the .222 in power....yeah I know tougher to find brass for reloading, but I 'm sure I could track down a couple of hundred...HELL they still load them commercially...
And even though I KNOW it is hit and miss with #1s as to accuracy....some are tack drivers and some need a LOT of work with shims etc to get them to shoot worth a damm...
....But they ARE beautiful riflles!!!!
The other one that caught my eye was the "Switch Barrel" CZ 455....$619 NEW set up for .22LR. .22 WMR and .17 HMR.....
Does anybody have any experienvce with EITHER?
DAMM #1s are so beautiful, and the .218 is wierd enough it would be COOL as a walking around gun for P-dogs...
And the CZ is supposed to be a GREAT rifle...and the .17 HMR and .22 WMR would give me the best of both worlds...a HIGHLY accurate rifle out to 150 with the .17 and no wind, and another BETTER one in .22 Mag out to 100 WITH the wind....
HHHmmmm....
