So I'm a dinosaur, I admit it I bought my first Tikka, Plastic, and Stainless rifle a few years ago in the new ( 10 yrs.at that time) Billy whizbang 6.5 creedmoor caliber. Then I found I wanted actual bottom metal and no mater what people said the new stock, let's just say was inferior. I replaced both and have shooting very good with factory ammo. so despite being on Medicare I can hunt in almost any environment without concern of rust or warpage. It has amazed me how I was able to survive hunt this long without ending up with rusty bowed rifles.
Enough humor, got that itch again, but this time I'm going back to what I like and that is the beauty of wood. Let me say this I have never and will probably never that a shot at a game animal over 250-300 yards. I can, but just don't see the need to short of a lucky trip to south or west Texas.
Why do I never see any threads here on the super grade Winchester? Forget the caliber, I here they are much improved from the post 64's. I love my remmy bdl's but that Winchester super grade is looking awfully nice right about now. I just was wondering if Winchester has issues I am not aware of.

Mine was a beautifully stocked Super Grade in 7mm Magnum. Gun was flawless but just didnt shoot good. It was factory ammo but grouped over 2" @ 100 yards

Thanks my choice would be the 26-06 which of course they don't offer anymore, may run across one used.

I don't have a supergrade, but I have a featherweight in .270 and one in .243. Both are tack drivers.

On a whim a few years ago, i picked up a new Super Grade in 7 Mauser. A buttery smooth action straight out of the box and a perfectly acceptable trigger (and I'm picky about my go-buttons). Slapped an old, trusted Leupold 6X on top and went hunting...

By all means, scratch that itch if it's bothering you...you can do a LOT worse.

^^^ Venerable cartridge! (And a BIG hog.)

The Winchester Super Grade is a beautiful rifle, I've always wanted one but talked myself out of it because of the price tag.

I won a Super Grade 280 rem a few years ago. Worked up a nice 162gr AMAX load for it. It shot very well. I found that it was way to nice for what I do with hunting rifles. I can’t just throw a rifle like that in the back of a Polaris or drag it thru the brush on a stalk. So I traded it off. Probably should have kept it but it was worth nothing sitting in the cabinet all the time.

Beautiful...!!!

Not a Super grade but I am partial to maple.

Mine is s 7/08, wears a Meopta Meopro 6x. The 6x has extremely great glass.

Love my SAKO 85, beautiful wood and it shoots lights out. I bought it for a Nilgai hunt in December between knee replacements. I will probably sell it after if you can wait that long.

Buzz where are you shooting indoors ?

Buzz that is beautiful I have to ask what caliber though. Pm when your ready, I know Sako is producing a 25-06. I'll keep my eyes open.

I'm going to use some detective work and say it's a 300 Win Mag.

Buzz,

Save me some Nilgai meat. I'll pay for it if you want.

haha, yes its a .300 Winny. And yes Scott or I'll have to buy a chest freezer

I shot a Oryx last December and my wife ate the whole thing. She loves the ground meat. She's already told me I need to go hunting ASAP. My plan is just to get a couple whitetails this year.
