Remington 700 6.5 Creedmoor

[Wagnerwerks]

I lusted after a Marlin in .357 for a long time. I finally found a used one and it turned out to be a turd, so I got rid of it. I'm back on the hunt for one.

My local has a nice one for 800

They aren't too fun to shoot... I was going to build one but not after playing with a couple... So my new build as soon as I get my action is going to be a 338 edge for long ball!!!

Can’t be no worse than a big 300

If it is a no manual safety model somebody will gladly buy it for asking price. They go for more than that on Gunbroker. Even the later safety versions go for $6-700.00. Would I spend that much if I were in the market for a .357 lever action right now? No, but I wouldn't sell the one I already have for $1000.00 or even $2000.00 either. My 1894 is easily the funnest gun in my whole arsenal and one of the most versatile too. If I ever get another new lever action it's going to be a Henry or Miroku made Winchester. My Henry .22 and Browning BLR (also made by Miroku) are just superb.

Y'all can keep the hard kickers. A well placed .30-30 with a good bullet will kill anything that needs killin' in my little corner of the world.

Idk... The 2 I shot kicked way more then my 300 win mag. But they were only in the 11 pound range. But so is my 300. My 338 edge will be 15-16 tho

This is the good one...

I'm after a Henry too. I have the early Marlin 44 and would love the 357 to match but can't afford it (according to my wife) I will have to look at the miroku....

 

[FergusonTO35]

Miroku Winchesters are excellent but usually cost even more than nice JM Marlins. I think the Henry is the best value going today, my local guy sells them for around $600.00. Remlin 1894's are still $500.00. I wouldn't buy one unless I could inspect it first and I knew the seller would stand behind it, which my local guy does 100%.

So many drool-worthy guns to buy, so little income!

 

[Wagnerwerks]

I have yet to lay my hands on a nice remlin. The ones I've held are not refined and strike me as low quality in every way. Henry is heavy but super nice.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Just looking at the local examples, it seems like the 336C and 1895 didn't suffer nearly as much as the 1894 and econo-336 did. I would say that Remlin knows that buyers of the former two are going to be alot more likely to complain than somebody who buys a 336A from cheapmart.

I want a 28 Nosler for a gun to shoot to a mile

I like your style, I have a 300 Weatherby myself and love it. It's not too bad to shoot. I just use it for my long range setup though.

What case is the 338 edge based off of or is it a new design. I don't believe that I've heard of that one.

I shoot an Armalite AR50 for my long range gun. At 40lbs, it's a good thing it has a lot of reach. You sure can't carry it very far.
It's fun to shoot. 30-06 class recoil.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Wow, do you reload for that thing? I actually like big bores, I just don't like big recoil!

Not yet. The equipment is stupid expensive and components aren't much better.
I bought several cans of surplus .50 cal ammo, back when it was less than a $1.00 a rd.......and before I ever considered getting a .50 cal rifle.
I don't shoot it much. The ammo I have for it are mostly APIT and spotter rounds. You gotta be careful not to start a fire. Spotter rounds are fun at night but you have the same concern.
It's definitely a crowd pleaser.

338 edge is a 300 Remington ultra mag necked up to 338. I’m not recoil sensitive so they don’t bother me. I’ve shot 40-50 rounds of 338 Lapua “, 60-80 300 WSM, and 200 plus 308 in one afternoon.

It never is shooting a lot. Me and Arkansas Kevin shot 300 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor in one afternoon and a pile of 223.

Last time I shot that many rounds in one setting was prairie doggin' in South Dakota
