For the last year or so, I’ve had a list of exactly what I wanted in my little battery of firearms. Nothing fancy (okay, nothing really fancy).
Just the basics…

• .22 rifle
• .22 pistol
• .223 semiauto rifle
• .308 semiuato rifle
• .308 boltgun
• 12 ga shotgun
• .45 pistol
• 9mm pistol
• .357 pistol

Pretty much everything you’d need to cover your needs for the rest of your life, however short that may be. Finally got the boltgun today…
Picked up a CZ 550 Varminter in .308. H-S Precision synthetic stock, fully adjustable single-set trigger, heavy crowned barrel, Mauser-type action, etc, etc. A very nice rifle. I’m going to spend the $50 for the CZ brand rings (milled from a freakin’ bar of steel! None of this aluminum crap.) and then I need to find some glass to top it with. Once thats done, slap on a Harris bipod and see how good the thing will lob a Ballistic Tip (or matchKing). It was a horse race between the CZ and the Savage. I liked Savage’s price, but I loved the CZ Mauser action. My goal is to get this thing set up to keep things under 1 MOA out to about 600 yards or so. (Thats 6″ at 600 yards, kids….)

Still gotta get around to picking up a Ruger MkII at some point……..
