Yeah, I'm not sure what the situation could be. It's a standard Warne 3-hole mauser base with their rings, but it could also be the scope or angle. I'm going to have the safety replaced and the action/stock inspected and some of those rear sight holes filled in if I can't find a rear sight...

Small update on this project, I finally got the Weaver mounted! I had ordered an EGW mount for it but it did not fit the look of the rifle at all, so I returned that and ordered a Warne setup. Quite happy with the results, but the eye relief and long LOP leave a little to be desired still so...

I carry an S&W Bodyguard 2.0 in 380 ACP, have not had any issues dispatching snakes or varmints on the ranch with it, but I mostly carry it due to the size. Fits in my pocket, can't even tell it's there (I'm 6'3 210lbs.) It is deadly enough with the right bullet, and at the distance I would...

Range report! Right out of the truck with a cold barrel, it was lights out on it's first 3 shot group with regular S&B 173gr SPCE. Unfortunately (though unsurprisingly) the next group had a flier on the last shot as the barrel reached higher temps. If I let it sit a while until it cooled...

Very nice rifle!

Lol, he definitely was a big one, caught him right at the start of the rut. It's a family lease that we've rented from some friends for a good number of years now, Webb County. We had a great late summer and fall, as you can see by how green it was in the background, which is rare for our area...

Very cool! I've got to buy a bigger home this year, since I've started working from a cramped home office, but afterwards, a Rigby is on my bucket list. I've never been to DSC, but maybe I should make the trip to come see you all!

I let my 11 yr old son do the shooting this year, as I'm kind of over whitetail hunting (only do it for venison now) and this was his first deer after tagging along with me to practice at the range for a few years. Got him a Savage 110 Apex in 6.5CM for his birthday, shot was about 175-180...

I want to try it out as is, but I'm definitely leaning that way.

I mentioned in my other thread that I would post some pictures once I got my new-to-me rifle in, so here she is. She's built on a vz23(4?) action and has a custom setup on the rest. Stock, double set triggers, Leupold M8 - EER, and most importantly, a 25" barrel in 7x57! The listing on GB...

Hey Clodo! Sorry for the late reply, but thank you for the information! I have only been shooting S&B in it to get some brass, but I have been wanting to try the new Buffalo Bore loadings. That said, I did just recently win another auction for a BRNO vz.23 rifle that I'll have to share later...

It was a modern FN made model, very nice rifle. I quite miss it, but I can't be upset with this one. Lol, I know what you mean, it's hard to mess with it. It's still sitting as is, but I do have plans for it now that buffalo bore is offering commercial TTSX loadings and I don't have to worry...

Figured I would post a rifle I picked up after a year or so of having sold Phil my pride and joy M70 Super Grade in 7x57. I told myself I wouldn't get back into a rifle that needed special order ammo and that I didn't do enough hunting anyways, but here we are once again! Was browsing GB and...

Appreciate the insight! I'm a veteran, but he is not. I'll take a look at some of those areas and see if I can't figure out a plan. Thank you!

Hey everyone! As we all know, life is a fleeting thing. My grandfather was recently bed ridden at the age of 89 and he is now getting around with a wheel chair when he can manage to get out of bed at all. Seeing this, I realized that he had never achieved his dream of bagging an elk (he had...
