Quilly the international Rugers come with iron sights ,at least mine has them .
Whelen the Miroku company that makes the a-bolt series stopped putting sights on them in 1993 , so You were right about that being from a earlier time . I just remembered reading about the sights when I was pricing guns that I wanted to bid on in this auction I went to over the weekend . I do handload everything I shoot and have been since I was still a kid . I haven' t been a kid for a looong time . Halcon.

Quilly, I noticed that you dropped the 7mm08 off your ' wish list" ; why? I' m asking for two reasons one is that I' m interested in picking one up this summer and the other is that it' s the one I was going to recommend to you as I know you hunt the Maine wods too.

NE Hunter..
reason being i already own a 308win and the 7mm-08rem is close with it. i would rather pick a 358win if i had to get a caliber close to the ones i already own. but i guess kittery is been having problems with getting the BLR 81' in 358win. if i decide to get a short action is might be the 243win. something differant.

robert scott..
the 338-06 would be a awsome rifle. too bad i don' t reload. i would like to find a 8mm rem mag.
i have thought on many occasions about the 223. just that i would rather have a gun i could hunt with bseides small varmit' s. since i hunt deer more than i would hunt varmit' s.most of the nice firearms that chamber the 223 are out since i am not allowed to buy them. i would like a nice 44 mag ruger deerfield but the same goes with a rifle using handgun ammo.
i am always fond of being the unique one in the deer woods with a differant caliber than the rest.
BTW.. you are not annoying me. this is why i posted this. i can' t make up my mind.

Quilly, You have good taste in rifles, I am going to order a BLR ' 81 in .358 win Friday. A 25-06 would be a good mild caliber round to add to your .308 and 35 whelen. You could use it for varmits, coyetes and deer. If you hunt out west it would make a good mule deer and pronghorn load.

From what you posted in the past, Quilly, all your guns that you own (well, the one' s that you posted here) overlap and will all do the same thing to a deer with very similiar success, if not identical success. I suggest a varmint caliber, like, 223 or 22-250, or make a big jump and get yourself a big magnum. Just my opinion.

Quilly, although I might get some funny looks for this one, the 223 will kill whitetail just as well as a 6mm or a .257, shot placement is key. I have a few friends that have been hunting deer with a 222, one since he was a kid the others switched as they got older and didn' t want to deal with the higher recoil. They fill their tags every year.
