I have an AR coming everything but the barrel assembly !
And it appears a Stag Arms Model 7 6.8 SPC barrel assembly will be heading this way very shortly as well .
Now the question is once I get this thing completed and have a decent load worked up for it , how long will I keep it once I kill a couple deer with it
I plan on using the Nosler 110 AccuBond and maybe the Barnes 110 TSX .

Good question. I very rarely sell a gun while others change them like a baby`s diapers.
I buy a gun,work up a load, stash it in the safe and look for another.

6pt-sika -- if you're going to hell, count me in...I just finished building one, gathering pieces parts to build another---I guess you'll have company... :)
I've had a couple factory guns, I've even put together one or two , I've had as many as 4 at one time and down to zero for awhile.
Got down to 1 when prices went stupid.
Working on my third gun now. Prices are cheaper than 20 years ago right now.
It's a sickness, but then I was up to 15 30-30's and down to 2 right now.
Kinda like grown man tinker toys.

I noticed there have been many posts here regarding the AR. I have another AR coming too.
Post and pics to come.-------------6
Not sure if I want another anymore .
I wanna finally get a 26 Nosler built . I am also thinking I need a Remington 700 SPS Tac 308 with the 16 1/2" barrel thats threaded for a suppressor. And finally I kinda think I want a Benelli M2 12 gauge with the 18 or 20 inch barrel and extended mag tube , that would make a heck of a buckshot/slug gun for deer when we do man drives .

6pt; I have a older friend, who like you, evreything he touches turns into a profit
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

That must be me! I love old guns...but......money floats my boat. Sticks and stones will break my bones but cash keeps my feet on the ground.
And 6 point...........Come on now.....you and I both know the 26 Nosler is a barrel burner......meant as a hunting weapon only............you and I like to shoot a lot.......so......that means your barrel will last
about 4 months.-----6

No I've gotten so lately I work up a load and leave them alone !
The 26 Nosler is no worse the 7mm Ultra Mag , the 264 Win Mag or the 220 Swift . And I've messed with all three of those with very pleasing results . The Nosler people are saying 800-1000 shots of barrel life . My thinking is 100-200 shots to get a decent load worked up . Then 10-12 shots each year to check scope and kill a deer or two . It should last me as much longer as I wanna hunt . I figure 20-30 years and I'm done hunting or in the ground
Heck talking about barrel burners . The first 264 Win Mag I ever had was a circa 1960 Winchester Model 70 with a stainless 26" barrel I got that gun about 94 or 95 . It looked semi well used but it still shot3 shot groups under 3/4 MOA . The best 220 Swift I owned was a circa 1961 Winchester Model 70 Varmint with the factory stainless heavy barrel . That one had been used a good bit when I got it , but I was still able to get consistent 5 shot groups at 100 yards that stayed at 1/2" .
Most of my rifle shooting for fun anymore is with the 444 throwing big chunks of lead , that's a lot cheaper then shooting jacketed bullet guns LOL's !
And it appears my shotgun intrests are taking a forefront again .

Incidently I had a friend that owned one of the shops I used to go to Shirk's and pickup for , he passed a couple months ago . Anyway his wife is in the process of liquidating the shop and his personal guns that his son didn't want . So it appears I may be getting my hands on a rather nice Remington 700 BDL with a stainless #4 Lilja barrel chambered in 6.5-06AI along with a nice Leupold Vari XIII 4.5-14x40mm .
Now I already have a 6.5-06 on a 700 BDL with a Shilen #3 stainless barrel , but I'd like to have one of my friends rifles and this one interested me more then most of his others .

I wouldn't say "everything" turns a profit . But I'm fortunate enough to buy a good many things right so when I do need or want to sell them I can turn a little extra .

There's a possibility I may very well be there Saturday !
We have about a dozen 14th century Japanese Matchlocks we may take up there and try to move for a customer .
A couple of the Parker Collector guys are after me to come up there as well I assume they want me to come up so they can rub their latest additions in my face !
These two guys seem to have VERY deep pockets .

well ... I have to admit I have a couple of ar's (5.56) and decided they just weren't the ticket
so I built an a10 in 358win ... so I'll see y'all in hell LOLOLOLOL
note : I've never heard of a gun complaining if I bought another gun now if only
the wife would get on board with that ideology ... ROFL !!!!!
