I did it

[shovelheadave]

Somehow all of my sub-7mm rifles have ended up with long heavy barrels on them....not good for banging around in the woods of PA.

I used to be able to grab my son's RH 110 (.223) but, it's got a thumb-though stock on it now. Shooting a RH thumb-through left-handed just doesn't work.

So, I ordered an 11 THXP 22-250.......and I'm not going to mess with it.

So you say....;)

[shovelheadave]

Well....except for the glass, the base & rings and the stock.......but probably nothing else.

Your out of control (Just Saying)

[Stockrex]

I am telling!

Then it will be the trigger and if it doesnt shoot,then the barrel and recoil lug.The bolt handle will be too small and sss gets a call etc.LOL

Dang...I love that New Rifle Smell !!!

I've had it for over 12 hours and haven't changed anything yet. So far so good !! :)

Any bets on how long before he takes it apart to change / modify something?

Who's giving odds?

[fgw_in_fla]

(even if the bolt handle IS on the wrong side....)

Hey Dave -
When you get tired of that .223 caliber, I have a nice 223 wssm barrel I'd be willing to make a deal on. I have brass & bolt head & everything you may need. Just for you my friend.

HEHEHEheeheheheheehehee...

[shovelheadave]

Stop it.....I am not putting a varmint barrel on this !!!

[Silvercrow1]

Well....except for the glass, the base & rings and the stock.......but probably nothing else.

NICE Rifle! Dave...what are those goodies mounted on top? Looks like a Prostaff scope...is that upper device something to spot those Vascally-Var-Ments by the light of the moon?

Congrats and tell us some more. I love living vicariously through others...

You probably live close to where I do (I'm 10 miles south of Quakertown). Were you around when EGW did work on private person's guns? MAN- I used to spend some time and money with them relative to handguns. Top notch outfit IMO. Brian

Im in Harleysvillle.

Thats a Kill Light on it, for night time predator hunting.

[fgw_in_fla]

Don't forget an extra scope, rings, base(s), new trigger, bipod, stock, barrel, recoil pad, ear covers, glasses, gun case....

Happy spending.
