Looks awesome! I’m sure it’ll perform as well as it looks too.

Totally frigging amazing.

In all my years of shooting I've never even come close to having this happen.

Didn't bore sight or anything
Just mounted the base, rings, and scope.

I put 10 in the tube figuring it was going to take some tinkering
Shot at a golf ball at 20 yards....Just a little off to the left.

1 shot 1 adjustment

After that it was 9 golf ball hits from 20-30 yards.

Keeper !!!!

Glad to see you finally got lucky and found a good one Mr. Hoover :D

Next maybe a savage sporter

I like to at least try them.
The boys definitely enjoy trying them too.
All the different actions and ways of feeding.
It's one job I feel I've done well with lots of help

It's Forest's gun now.
Said he "really" liked the lever action.
It sure liked him
He outdid the older brother and was popping golf balls easily at 60-70 yards.

Good range day
Had the lever
Giggle gun....10-22
And an old Winnie

Hmmmm. . .an accurate old .22. How unusual. . .NOT!! :mrgreen:

Nice job with the gloss finish Leupold combo - very classy! I'm pretty lenient on aesthetics when it comes to modern matte finish scopes (almost all you can get) on old rifles, but when you can pull of the full vintage look. . .yeah. . .
WWJMBD?

I believe we should stand on Ceremony. . . while our friends handcuff the sanctimonious little prick and take him away.

He really took to the rifle and it liked him on the way home razzing big brother. It was decided that one is his.
He was happy about that being his first rifle.

Hunters was an AR we built together.
Been awhile since we had that out so it was in the conversation for next time.

Took years but finally figured out my eyes and what was going on....the deep end of the pool is very shark infested now.
