I knew you'd have to look at this!!

And here i was trying to save you the "embarrassment" of haveing to clean the DROOL off your key board, when you saw this STILL NEW IN THE BOX Valmet 412 double 30-06 with the origional cosmoline on it. I bet you i can find a 12/30-06 and a couple shotgun bbls. to go with it too....

NOW, don't you feel bad for NOT listening to me??

Drillimgman, :bow:

you know I am looking for a Drilling...

BUT I could be swayed to purchase a Classic Valmet and move away from those Russian guns. So where is the gun

and feel free to PM me the price.

Drilling,
I found a Tikka 12/222 for a resonable price $800-900 but I just dont know. That Spartan 12/223 for $400-$500 is tough to beat...

Very nice Drillingman, Your a teaser!!!

Dougk all is not lost. Print the picture and post it over your loading bench to keep you focused on what your looking for. Save your nickles and soon you can go to www.gunbroker.com and buy yourself one. Byron

Byron,
its not about the money its about the value and finding what will work for my application. For a drilling I want a 16 ga and modern mainstream caliber. I dont see the value in spending $6k on a Krieghoff drilling in 16x16/243. I do see the value in spending $3.4k on a Sempert Krieghoff in 16x16/8x57. However so do others as that gun was swooped up in minutes upon being available.

My other option is a combo (I will use my 16ga SBS for bird hunting and keep this for turkey predator, varmit. The combo should be 12ga/(222, 223, 243). I have not been able to find a Valmet in 12/.222 but have found a Valmet Shooter pack (12/12, 12/222, 308/308) that I am looking at or a Spartan in 12/223.

We will see what happens.

Added- I did not buy the Valmet Shooter pack as I use SxS shotguns for field hunting (I dont shoot sporting clays any more hence no need for an O/U), I have standardized on the 30-06 as my medium game gun (I dont have any 308 ammo) so I rationalized I would be spending $1600 for a turkey/predator gun when I cold buy a Spartan for $500. So I am going with the Spartan in 12/223 plus I have the rifled and turkey chokes...
