Trail Rated Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 This is my new-to-me Modelo 93. Just got it back from the gunsmith today after a lengthy stay for a barrel reset, receiver peep sight and front sight ramp adds, new firing pin, and rebluing (all of which cost more than I paid for the rifle). I refinished the stock myself. This replaces a different 93 that I had and loved but sold to someone who really, really wanted it. I took this one straight to the range and put five rounds down it at 25 yards — all good so far, no signs of keyholing etc. I forgot to bring an aperture for the rear sight so I didn’t try anything at 100 yds. Maybe this week. Note the calibers laser etched. I specifically wanted .275 Rigby on there in case this one goes overseas with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 That's nice. I tried cutting down the barrel and rechambering, but I have not been successful with getting them to not keyhole. I think the rifling is toast on the barrels I tried it on. Yeah, 275 Rigby. NOBODY WILL KNOW it's a military caliber. I think one of my reamers or headspace gauges is actually marked 275 Rigby. I think Brownells was out of stock on 7x57, but instock for 275 Rigby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
