Jack, I’m with @Mats Bergholm Meopta are definitely worth a look. The discontinued Czech made MeoPro 1” are excellent, on par with Z3 to my eyes.

@pc3 HS uses Mauser 98 commercial bases (sometimes referred to as FN). Part nos for the Leupold bases are 50055 Gloss 50056 Matte Sadly discontinued now ;-( with a bit of hunting you might find some. https://www.leupold.com/qr-mauser-fn-2-pc-matte will be cheaper than Hexalocks As an...

I tried the Mauser Hexalock mounts, found them a bit tall and also could not get the scope rearward enough for my preferred eye relief. I went to Leupold QD Extension rings, offering height options and providing scope mounting further rearward.

Evan - your Rigby cousin should get you over the line. (y) ;) Jack - a few Rigby's at the Big Game Rifle Club shoots. If you'd like details - let me know.

That makes it worse. :-( Sent you a DM.

I also find an illuminated reticle scope with 1x or 1.5x at the low end is the best solution for me. Yes, these add weight, and are slightly less instinctive than a dot, but I like the redundancy of a reticle in the event of a battery / electronics failure, the option for longer shots and more...

Sorry to hear about your hound JP. ;-( GSPs are a great. Rack is for display only. All storage is compliant with local requirements.

Maybe. Or could be some fading over time?

thanks Steve ha - pad is a Pachmayr - the bubblegum look is no doubt from the crappy iphone ‘flash’ :unsure:

If you don’t have any luck tracking down a Rigby one, ASC do one. https://www.africansportingcreations.com/british-campaign-five-gun-rack.html I’m a bit of a simpleton when it come to woodworking (amongst many other things) - but managed to knock up a redneck one up myself.

I think another consideration is protecting the ability to one day sell a rifle (double or otherwise) chambered for a more ‘obscure’ cartridge. In effect, this requires 2 lifetimes supply, one for yours and one for the next custodian that you or your family / executor sell the rifle to. Hard...
