I can't believe no one has put up a .458 African yet!! There's got to be on out there somewhere!! That's one I've never owned,always "not for sale or just sold"....

340, I've got talleys on my rifle, and went with the extended front base because I was going with a VXIII 2.5-8. I've since replaced it with a FXII 6x36 and as you can see from that picture, don't really need the extended base for that scope. LOP on my McMillan is 13.5". I didn't know Talley do a 'extended front base' in their ultralight alloy mounts. Do you have a code for this? Thanks again It's not the lightweight - they're the steel bases with QR rings...

I've shown this one a time or two, but never get tired of it. It's a '57 vintage .300 H&H wearing a period Weaver KV 2.75-5x variable. My father-in-law received it as a high school graduation gift and gave it to me a few years ago.

GW:Nice.........that rifle looks like it could hunt by itself....... The only thing I hate about pre 64's is that I never saw one I didn't want to own

It doesn't get any better than that...nice rifle.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

Here is a photo of my pair of pre-64 Winchesters: A late-40's model 70 in .270 Winchester. I'm hunting mule deer this year with this rifle. A pre-war .30-06

Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better.
True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth.
If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

I know this is an old thread but I figure it deserves a bump to the top for viewing by new members. And surely some members have acquired some pre-64's over the last few years that they'd like to show off!! Here's mine Custom 257Wby originally owned by Safariman here on the 'fire. Custom 240Wby All original 220 Swift in excellent condition. The 257 is the first custom rifle I ever purchased and killed a deer with. The 220 is the first 22cf that I ever killed a deer with. I've never killed a deer with a 6mm of any flavor but I plan to change that with the 240 this fall!
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.
