It has a very thin coating on the wood. It’s not bare, but just barely not.

Both good ideas for arming yourself without spending $2,500 on a black rifle and optics that make you stand out like Darth Vader at a Cub Scout meeting. I've got just a bit over $400 spent in the build of my most recent *black rifle,* actually more of a green rifle, since it's a pretty close dupilcate of a Canadian Army C8A1 carbine. And so far as looking like Darth vader at a Cub Scout meeting, I'd rather look like Porky Pig in a mosque.

.243 is a fantastic caliber. Savage rifles can take an aftermarket Choate folding stock, producing a 700 yard sniper rifle that can fit into a backpack or valise.

In my experience, .243 is available anywhere you can buy the other common rounds such as 30-06, 308, .223, 30-30 etc.

Don’t know if you sit in the rain, have the gun in and out of a safe, etc, but I know mine wasn’t a great stock and suspect that’s why someone sold it...couldn’t get it to zero. Free-floating it fixed that, but it was still visible for miles if it moved. Mine looks so good now that I’m tempted to make a multi-city loop looking for cheap Winchesters I can doll up.

I've fired this about 20 times and get good groups out as far as I think I'll need. Paper targets for now. Venison this fall, I hope.

Yes.

Head out to the pistol range at your local gun club with a shovel and a framed piece of rat wire. You can mine all the lead you could possibly need. A neighbor (in his 70s!) did just that for a few days. Sold a ton to the local metal recycler and kept about 3/4 of a ton for future needs.
BTW, I don't know what they're using these days, but the day of the lead wheel weight is about over. For the environment, don'cha know.

Excuse the late post; I’m googling my account on FR and this came up.
I went through hell trying to zero my scope on the Ranger. Turns out the cheap stock was warped pretty hard to one side. Sanded it to get free-float and it worked fine. I’ve since bought a walnut stock, but might throw the beater back on there for hunting.

How did you find it? Lurking? I got to poking around on Google.
I should go search the archives for some of SWAMPSNIPER’s stuff.
Remember a Freeper called DWSUWF?

I click on almost all of the gun related threads. I noticed this one was from 2012. Swampsniper is missed, thats for sure.
And sorry, I dont remember DWSUWF. There have been so many over the years. I particularly miss Harpseal and Coyote, myself.

Divided We Stand.... He was fun to read. I think he’d find current events quite interesting, assuming that he’s no longer with us.

Weve lost lots of good Freepers over the years, one way or another. I cant believe Ive been annoying folks here for over 20 years.
