  1. Congrats rustvyper to your brother on a great double and congrats to you on your little "scout". My daughter loves hunting with me, I started her when she was young too. My happiest days have been with my kids in the woods.
  2. I had one years ago that had been converted to 30/06, fired 7.7 handloads came out looking kinda funny. Took it to a gunsmith and found out about the conversion. It shot ok, but I traded it off. I would really suggest buying the dies from RCBS to handload. The 7.7 is a decent enough cartridge and easy to reload. I've killed mule deer with it and I'm gonna try for a bear on Sunday........Scott
  3. Thanks guys! I am really proud, especially since a couple grown men missed deer at the same distance. Believe me, that card got played! 8uck5snort- best of luck to you and your boy!.....Scott
  4. I put my daughter(15 yrs) in for a Wyoming tag along with my hunting partners 13 yr old son and they were drawn this year. Alisha and I were sitting on the edge of a ravine when this small 4 point came along. She made a perfect 109 yard shot with her .250 Savage,(1909 Swede, ER Shaw barrel, B&C stock, I did the bolt and D&T) the buck dropped like a rock. This is her third buck and her biggest, so she was very happy. My friends son got a 3X4 the next day that was about the same size as this one. In 3 days I saw 39 bucks and about an equal number of does, of the bucks only four would have been more than 24 inches wide, most were very small horned forks and 3X3. The quanity was definitely there! Now my son and I need to fill our Ca. tags.......Scott
  5. I think the EGW is what I've been looking for, thank you............Scott
  6. Well I saw that one, and the only thing is it looks just like the one I got off ebay with the holes out of spec. The one i got might have been a fluke, guess I can try again, they are cheap enough.....Scott
  7. Does anyone have a source for a one piece tactical style scope mount that isn't 100 bucks? Not a scout. Built in moa would be a plus but not a must have. I bought one off ebay a while back and the rear screw hole is not where it should be, but is close enough that I can't do anything with it on this rifle. Thanks for any help....Scott
  8. "Had to bite my hand on that one as I had already spent a grand!" What else did you get?
  9. I had the swing safety installed but I'm not happy with how hard it is to engage, that's why the request for a pic of a cocking piece. I mistakenly said chapman, I believe it is a wisner type--pull back/push forward.....Scott

  11. I have one in 6.5X55 and love it. It is an absolute tack driver and will do anything the 8mm will do with decent bullets. In scandinavian countries they use it to take moose, and I have shot right through mule deer with it......Scott
  12. Words of wisdom, that's a fact!..............Scott
  13. Do you have any pics of the cocking piece after you modified it? Scott
  14. Does anyone have a pic of a cocking piece that has been modified for use with the chapman style 2 pos safety? I'm hoping there is a way to make it smooth like a win 70, or at least half as smooth......Scott
  15. That might be considered heresy in some circles.....I wanted a Rem 700 action to match the matte stainless barrel I was having installed. To get a matte finish I used crushed glass in a sandblaster, followed by lightly sandblasting with glass beads. I was really happy with how it turned out. You have to protect areas not to be plated, they sell a brush on liquid that is similar to rubber cement, buy the SMALLEST quantity they sell. I bought a quart (way too much) and it will last many lifetimes. It is easy to do if you read the instructions several times before plating...........Scott
