I hunt it to. It will go out again this October on our general spike elk hunt. I carry it in my Eberlestock J107 Firefly pack with a 3/4 length internal scabbard WITH THE HOOD ON

This thread has some GORGEOUS rifle porn! Wow, gents.... can't fault these Mauser and Winny, wood and blue Bob's! I only have one rifle with wood in this class and ocnsider myself fortunate to have at least one. Not a Bob so I won't put it up here, but I sure like looking at these.

beautiful rifles....which reminds me I need to get Mickey working on turning a Santa Barbara 98 action into a Roberts for me.

this one is my daughter's, left hand 700, 21 inch Douglas SS 1 in 10 twist, featherweight contour, Brown stock, Leupold compact, blueprinted and bedded by Mickey, who also did the stock painting per my daughter's color scheme. 12 1/2 inch pull, weighs 6 lb. 10 oz with scope.



this is one of the first groups I shot with it when I picked it up at Mickey's shop. Grace's first group with it, in the rain, was sub 1/2 MOA. It do shoot.

Safariman~ I am having one built in .257 Bob and thats why I wanted to see others up here...but please feel free to indulge us !

OK, not a 25 anything but a 222. About the only rifle that could be in ths company with head held high and even at that not up to the standard of a couple others here but, I consider it to be quite pretty and I am proud to death of it. Hunt with it a lot. Since you asked......

Rifle in question, up in the rimrock country, and a victim in hand



This rifle is one that knows how to get AHEAD, er, ah a head? That was all that was showing when I had to take the shot. From sticks at about 150 yards. Accurate little rifles are a hoot!



And now, the actual rifle close ups by request. Sako Riihimaki with custom wood, buttplate, gripcap, barrel, and topped with a Loopy Vari X lll, older model in gloss blue4.5-14x40 A.O. One of my all time favorite rifles, enjoy.

I'd go 1-9", I've had some issues with 110 Nosler AB's in a 1-10". Trust me, an inch extra won't hurt but not quite enough will.

And you're right on this one.. I musta not had enough coffee that day.. For some reason my MIND said 1-9 but my FINGERS said 1-10..

I gotta cut 'em off at some point..


1-9 will be the twist..

does a Mcswirly in .257 Ackley count?
