Thread: Tops rifle

Wats the cost in making a 284?

Far out, rifles for tops, bottoms, clearings and bush, uphill and what next?
Some guys must need more gun bearers than an 1880's African Safari lol

Well, I was going to say this looks a little like an average day on one of Kotuko's goose hunting trips.

But that bloke on the left has matching thongs....oops jandals... there goes the asperger under arm bowler in me.... and his mate has more than a bag limit on his head.

$100 re-chamber, $100-$200 magazine replacement or lengthen. Then heaps fn around with R17, brass, dies and tinkering

So besides the rechamber about the same as any other gun you reload for!

I had my 7mm08 rechambered to .284. I just went and brought a few packets of factory ammo and have been using that a bit as well as some hand loads. First load went really well so have not changed it. Very, very minimal fuss shooting/hunting. Dies were cheap off trade me as well!
