That's a sexy rifle. Nothing wrong with the 6.5, mine killed two muleys and an antelope this year, they were just as dead as if they'd been shot with anything else...buy it, i doubt you'll regret it

I'd have to second that vote. Single shots are great rifles to shoot and to hunt with. I own two Ruger 1B's in 6mm Remington and 30-06. They are fantastic and I love them.
I can agree with your #1, but not the order of the next two. One of those 30" 25-06s would have been a swell candidate for rechambering to 257 Weatherby. Lazer like......no, but a close third. The Dakota 10 is first.

I actually have no interest in getting this rifle.
As a social experiment, I just wanted to see how many more replies I could get from a firearm post than a sportmen's issue post with a political bent.
Interesting results......

Those Hagn actions are very nice! I've seen a few customs built on them that are super.

When I ordered the 1885 at the price I was quoted, I thought I was getting this:
Instead I found out I was getting this, and the upper one was almost $600 more - above my tolerated margin......
So, instead, I went outside the box, and got this - usually a doubles guy,
but after the very first trigger pull comfortably yielded this late season public land rooster result,
was more than happy with the deal - Benelli Montefeltro 12 gauge southpaw.

Those Montefeltros are very nice shotguns. Why not a 20?

^like. I felt like I needed a 22-250 to keep the chukars in range this year
Very nice!! I have been looking into LH shotguns for awhile as my sons both shoot LH and my 10yo is showing a lot of interest in shotgunning. Boy there are not a lot of options for good, "affordable" LH shotguns. I'd like to put him into something like you bought in a 20ga. That'd be tough on me considering my nicest shotgun is an 870 express.
