Good post. I've heard good things about those IBI barrels. Watched some videos on Youtube, but have never seen one in the wild. I don't know what they cost, but to pay $700 for a Lilja is something I'll never do. I'd rather shoot my $199.99 Savage MK1, and yes, it shoots well enough..

So, your comment about "a lot of money can be spent in the pursuit of accuracy", just the opposite can also be said too. Some of you guys thinking you need to spend a ton of money, to have an excellent shooting rifle, need to get out a little more. That also goes for optics on a 22lr. You don't have to spend thousands on a good scope. It's all in how you approach it.

I have a Ruger Alaskan with 30mm stainless rings, but don't want to put that big of a scope on it. Trade for 1" rings?

Not to mention subsidized housing, medicaid, child tax credits, social services, and on and on.

Still for sale

Hi PennDog

This is my Klaus Hiptmayer Sporterized BSA M1917.

BSA bought a lot of surplus M1917s in the late 1940s and Sporterized them and sold them as Hunting Rifles by the thousands I believe into the North American market for $180.00 lol

My father made friends with an older man when he was a kid, this man took a liking to my father and took him Moose and Deer hunting, because my Grandfather didn’t hunt.

My father shot his first moose with it when he was 15 I believe, this is him with the same rifle when it was a Sporterized BSA. Taken from a picture on my office wall.



When this older gentleman passed away, he willed the rifle to my father, this happened in the early 70’s.

When my father received it, he commissioned Klaus to make a hand-fitted custom stock for him. The design of the stock is a Ferlach Austrian Design, with a Schnabel Forend treatment.

The stock was hand-cut and crafted by Klaus from a block of French Walnut. The signature plaque on the stock butt was engraved by Heide.

My father never used this rifle and had it in his gun collection and gave it to me when I told him I was moving out west to hunt big game.

I have hunted hard with it for decades and did a pretty good job denting and scratching it up so as mentioned I refinished it, after steaming out the dents and lightly sanding the deep scratches.

One of the bad dents in the cheek of the stock.



Stripped, and Repaired by me.





Tung Oiling Stage




What it looks like now after I refinished it, did the best I could.




My father’s and Klaus’s Signature on the butt plaque.



Thanks for looking

Woops! That info was supposed to be included. They are 30mm rings.

The spelling is Eglin, spell check tends to change it, to Elgin but the base is not just huge, it is one of the largest military complexes in the world by land mass size. It goes from near the Alabama state line to the Gulf of Mexico, then has thousands of square miles of ranges, plural, in the Gulf of Mexico. Every branch of service has a good size presence on Eglin, US Army (Ranger Jungle school Camp Rudder, 7th SF Group Hq), US Navy (Naval Warfare EOD school), State Dept (Embassy Counter Terroist training School) USAF (15th, 78th Air Force, AGGOS, AFSOC, USAF R&D Center) The RQS (rescue and SPl Ops) has a unit that has the largest concentration of PJs in one place in the world. Then they have a separate Unit for remote vehicles of all types for land and air. An of course Eglin is the home base of the special 130s, The Spectere AKC-130 gun ships and the Talons. Plus a Coast Guard Base.

This is the base where Dolittle practiced for the Tokyo raid, it has hosted many famous mission practice sessions, like the Son Tey raid, Iran IBM personell rescue, etc., including building entire towns and compounds plus it is used to train many friendly nation's personnel.

If Tikka would make a tiny CTR in a 22lr, I'd be all over that!! 22" heavy barrel, would be cool. I know your T1x shoots damn well, but one that looks like a CTR would be cool.

Me too, brother

giving some posting misgivings of the past, I thought this was going to be a marriage status announcement

I'm at six pistols, and one carbine.



Then I recently saw this revolver, and I'm really intrigued. Is this even legal?????

Nice score. I think you'll be pleased.

The Hawkeye has a more svelte stock than the MKII's. I think that's an improvement. As oldpinecrick stated, it will have the LC6 trigger. While the MKII trigger is not great out of the box, it can be worked to an excellent trigger and is reliable. There were some late MKII's that shipped with the LC6. Hawkeyes early on had a matte finish on the metal that was a little delicate/easy to mar which Ruger then changed to a more durable satin finish. Hopefully, you got the satin finish. MKIIs were polished metal. Other difference is the Hawkeye bottom metal/floorplate is steel with the Ruger bird engraved. MKII's had aluminum floorplates without any engraving, except on the stainless steel MKIIs, which have stainless floorplates sans engraving.

Look forward to you posting a report on your acquisistion and welcome to the campfire.

WGAF it's a gas station with some food and a lot of schitterz.

Good luck with sale

Does anyone know what size Butler Creek covers are needed for the Arken 6x24 50mm scope? The Arken ones will not fit with my scope mounted as low as it is.

I was looking at those and the warne rings. The warne rings look more robust but a pain if you swap scopes, which I don't do frequently.

I'm going to start refering to rainbow and groomer flags as Mental Illness Flags.

Welfare and food stamps included in this divestment?

Suure..

TDS allows nothing less.

Woodcock are great for Dog work development. Especially when you catch the flight and can get 100 plus contacts a day. I shoot a few for the Dog, but find them hard eating.

I have one set of rings and bases from gentry for a model seven in 350 Remington magnum and have never had any trouble with them , I have 30+ sets of the S &Ks on all the limbers and Remington 700s

I have never had any trouble with the scope slipping or loosing up under recoil, S & K rings and bases look great also and are very light !!!!!

Good one.

Sure as hell hope so! IMHO I wish we had someone other than Trump running! I'm a Trump supporter, however I love his policies but don't particularly like the man. Policies are what are the most important, not personality! So many people, along with the media, hate Trump and will vote against him, it happened in 2020. Any other candidate would win in a landslide over Biden, Even that knot head Nikki was betting Biden by 17 points in a head to head match up.

Don't get me wrong Trump has my vote and I pray he wins, I do not think the USA can survive another 4 years of Biden and God forbid Harris if and when Biden dies or is unable to continue in the office.

This [bleep] all started with Obama and it continues today! He is a true Communist and wants the total ruin of the United Sates Of America! IMO he is running thing now. No good SOB!

I may be interested in some of you items. Send me a provide message with contact inoformation, so we can discuss it.
