I think they merged or got bought out be the New Charter Arms. Charter is advertising a B/A rifle that appears to be a Raptor clone, that is to say a Rem 700 clone, and the factories are around the corner from each other.<BR>Fit and finish leave something to be desired, but what do you desire for an all stainless $250 gun? (FWI on early Raptors they were ss bbl's and east/n receivers)<P><A HREF="http://www.charterfirearms.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.charterfirearms.com/</A><P>------------------<BR>Lest not we forget, America is a Republic, NOT a republic.

The quality was non practiced. Hit the pawnshops for skillful buys on Savages and Model 700s. Thanks... Re: Raptor rifles.

Put it back downwards quicker'n I did the M710 the first time I handled one of them things. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Don't recollect ever seeing anything positive, anywhere, virtually the Raptor. If three or more than people recollect you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is correct. Re: Raptor rifles.

I'1000 a firm beliver that in most cases, you get what y'all pay for. Since and so, I've never heard anything that would pursuade me to purchase i. I second the idea of a Roughshod. For the money you tin can't go wrong. they're not glamorous but does a hunting rifle demand to be? Another very good one to look at would exist a Tikka. That'll likely be my side by side bolt rifle. Butterly smooth action and quality fit/finish. Shooting operation on both are excellant. If this is for your girlfriends begetter, don't brand a bad choice, you may regret information technology. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> (One the otherhand, if you're not good, y'all may desire that jam-o-matic in his easily.) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Re: Raptor rifles.

To expand a piffling on the possibility of considering a Model 99 Barbarous as previously mentioned as a "possibility". The Model 99 Cruel is in the midst of becoming a true American icon. I apply a 1953 Vicious Model 99 (a late EG model) in .300 Savage for all my deer hunting and I don't think either the rifle or the caliber can exist beat out for deer out to 250-275 yards. The .300 Savage cartridge using 180 grain bullets is easily capable of taking elk, moose and black behave at reasonable ranges while the use of 120 grain to 130 grain premium bullets turn the efficient .300 Savage into a great antelope rifle for long range shooting. The rifle is a "classic" and handles like a dream. It'southward lever action is "butter-smooth" compared to almost other lever actioned rifles and the .300 Savage, "male parent" of the .308 Win., is acknowledged by those who "know" as "THE" perfect deer cartridge because most hunting bullets offer outstanding operation at .300 Roughshod velocities while averaging 25%-thirty% less recoil than a .270 with equal weight bullets. My handloads chronograph at average muzzle velocity of 2675 fps while giving an average of .vi or .7 inch, 3-shot groups @ 100 yards off the demote balance with the Busnell 3x-9x variable scope set on "9x". Sighted in 2.75-inches high at 100 yards, the .300 Savage cartridge has a point bare range of 265 yards, meaning the bullet does non rise or fall more than than iii inches above or below the "line-of-sight" from the rifle's muzzle to 265 yards down-range which is a long shot for near hunters. There's something to be said well-nigh hunting with a "archetype" burglarize in a "archetype" quotient... and the Savage Model 99 in .300 Savages offers its owner a reasonably light, fast-handling, truly "classic", only very useful rifle for all occasions in a very reasonable price range. Strength & Honor... Ron T. It'due south smart to hang effectually old guys 'cause they know lotsa stuff...
