This is fun! I hope you forgive me for showing my "rimmed" version. It seems kinda off- topic, but i'm very fond of it. It's a Merkel and the 7x57R is under a 16 ga. barrel. I also have a Krieghoff drilling, but no pic. I'll include a picture of my Brno 22F too... This one is off at Ralf Martini's to get a new Dakota 3-position safety and a single trigger. Missed a pack of 5 wolves ( 5 shots!) last moose season, just couldn't hit them running with the DST's.

I have 4. A custom mauser 24" in a synthetic stock with a 14x Redfield. A custom ultra light by Gatlin guns. A Ruger 77mk1 in its original wood that has been full length action bedded and has a canjar trigger topped with a sightron scope. A Ruger 77mk1 that is getting a boyds jrs stock. The one I am working on right now is getting a burris with the ballistic plex reticle. The first custom mauser has killed more deer than I can count. reflex264

Mine is a Remington 700 Mountain rifle, with a 3x9 Leupold VX II. Haven't taken any game but it is very accurate and fun on the range.

EFW, go ahead and use the weaver bases, a good idea i might add, pair them up with Burris Z rings. The z rings look way better than standard weavers and are detachable with a straight screwdriver. they are available in low, medium and high and in various finishs. Les
Its not always easy to do the right thing, But it is always the right thing to do.
