. IIRC, Leupold wasn't the only game in town, at that time - other companies, like Hudson & Bushnell were offering LER & IER scopes like the Hudson Handgunner & the Bushnell 2x Phantom with a clip-on type mount that used the rear barrel sight area as a locus. http://www.gunvaluesboard.c...

I didn’t realize Leupold made scopes & mounts back in the day to Scope the Winchester model 94. I personally like the look of the Weaver side mount better than this setup. Maybeso, but the Leupold setup was considerably more practical and thought-out than the Weaver side mount in terms of: 1. n...

My Dad once tried it with a .270 on a porcupine, probably before I was even born. Always told me that the splinters made a mess out of the poor critter's entire underside and it needed to be shot again to be put out of it's misery.

The top one appears to be slimmer in the foreend. Is this true? My parts gun 39 does not yet have a fore end, and I want it to be slimmer than any 39 I have seen to date. Anybody got a spare fore end? I don't have a spare, but my Cabela's $300 Golden 39M had its price in part due to someone having ...

I was at the new Rogers location on the day they first opened their doors and I've stopped in once since. Wallet didn't leave my pocket. It's quite a nice, big store with a whole lot of gun counter and it's pretty much priced like all the regular GM stores.

Molasses

Niiice. Can't fault your taste at all.

I'm not sure how old your bags were, but, I asked about that when I bought mine, and they said they addressed that problem. I bought mine about 5-6 years ago...used. Didn't seem all that long until you asked. :roll: It's kinda like with our microwave. Stupid thing has been acting up lately where th...

Yep, Leatherlyke bags are very nice. With one caveat: Shortly after I got the bags there was someone over on the VRCC (Valkyrie Rider Cruiser Club) site that had a bunch of sheet metal reinforcing pieces made for them and was selling the extras at cost. The idea is to add strength to the area around...

Well... got a little handlebar mount windshield. Huge difference in ride comfort. Looks like I'm getting right at 50 mpg too. Another week of 100 mi/day commuting and I will have put more miles on this bike than my last 2 put together... A windshield can be a real benefit if you're racking up miles...

Aint that Marlin/sako 222 nice! I fondled it about 2 weeks ago and even worked the action. I expect that the darned thing is going to keep eating at me until I give in. Even picked up 100rds of .222 seconds from work last week (if someone else buys that gun first, that's another caliber Contender b...

Got out out for my third ride/gunshop crawl of the season today. Saw a nice Sig Sauer 1911 bobtail at the first stop (just S. of Zimmerman on the E side of Hwy 169; I've never been there before and don't recall the name of the place) and made a half-hearted effort to bargain them down on it. They we...

That'd be a tough choice. I've got a Shiloh and a re-barrelled Ballard that don't get shot nearly enough as it is... OTOH, I have a plain-Jane B-86 rifle and while it's a joy to shoot, I've never enjoyed carrying it for any distance. The carbine might correct that issue. So maybe not such a hard cho...

There is no government conspiracy to control our ammo or reloading supplies. Remember last summer I told you boys to stock up, even though shelves were full? There are marketing/industry people who follow the supply and demand thingy. I happen to know one of them. We have created the shortages. My ...

GBL....Guide Gun, Big Loop ???? I've got a standard stainless Guide Gun...the one I looked at the other day differed from the one I have in these particulars: a full-length mag tube, laminated stock w. a pistol grip and the big loop lever, so parsing it to G uide gun, B ig L oop would make sense.

Molasses

Thanks for the advice. I'll try and stop back in there tomorrow and see if it looks like anything I'd want on second look.

Did some running around yesterday and saw something that at first glance seemed wildly overpriced. After thinking about it, I'm not so sure.

I had a Llama MiniMax in .45 for a few weeks some years ago. Long post short: it never did get so it would feed even hardball for even ONE magazinefull without at least one jam (frequently several). Tried multiple magazines and gave it plenty of rounds in an attempt to get it to to "break in&qu...

I've got one on my Browning B-95 .30-06. Can't say that I've done a lot of messing with it; I sight it in a few inches high at 100yds with the ammo I'm planning to hunt with and leave it alone until the next time. It works and looks more period correct to my eyes than most of the alternatives, so I'...

I'm another one that used the Williams receiver sight that fastens onto the scope mounting grooves. It needed a taller front sight, I had the factory original off of one of my Browning B-92s laying around and that's that. Looks a bit odd on the front sight ramp, but it's a good height and provides a...

At another forum, named for one of the two types of rifles being discussed, the stock answer for any question involving "which one do I get?" is "GET BOTH!" :lol: I like both rifles, but have to admit to favoritism towards the M1A platform; I spend more time messing with the SOCO...

I've had close to half a dozen Winchester 52 target rifles, as well as a couple of kinda-sorta knockoffs of the 52D that H&R called the Model 5200.

Thanks!
I've gotten to the age where I'm not looking forward to birthdays and am just relieved to still be here when they roll around.

Durned things seem to be whipping by like telephone poles alongside the highway.

Sorry, but don't know anything about what to do to fix your photo linkage problems.

There's one of the .500 Performance Center S&Ws somewhere in the back of the safe. I asked the local reloading store guru about loads for it right after getting it and was advised to use the Remington 385 gr. bullet over H110. That's worked fine for me so far.

Where does the hand carry balance point end up with that forward scope? MVC-179F.JPG I decided a picture of it on one finger would illustrate exactly where the balance point is.

The base after utilizing the QD feature: http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q201/Molasses_photos/Scout/MVC-173F.jpg Is that large screw at the rear where it attaches to the dovetail 'plug' ?

How does that attach besides the forearm Ring? The dovetail? I had thought about making a mount with a dove tail filler piece drilled and tapped with one hole and a hole in the band for a mount. Yup, exactly that. See the 3rd post in this thread, where I realized it needed more 'splainin'. :wink: I...

^ Thanks! :D On rereading what I wrote earlier, it occurs to me that I might not have been clear about just how the base goes on. It's somewhat like the the XS setup, in that the rear sight gets removed, an attachment plate goes into the rear sight dovetail slot and a screw fastens one end of the ba...

A few months ago I posted about being tempted by a '94 set up with the Leupold forward mount system they offered back when they first brought out their pistol scopes.

Ruger also had a run of Vaqueros--not sure how many--that were only chambered in 40S&W. I believe they had a bright stainless finish. I think the non- convertible .40 was a special run for the San Diego Sheriff's Dept or Assn? That's pretty much what I was told when I bought mine and it's what ...

The L-E had been intended to have detachable magazines, but as stamping/pressing was not yet around in large quantities, both the QC (fitting to the gun) and cost were a factor, so charger loading became the norm.
