The one on the bottom left is almost as nice. My photograph just doesn't show it.

Fyrepowrx,
I sure like the looks of those straight tube leupolds. Have you ever heard of or suffered any ill effects of putting the front scope rings so close to the lens? I seem to think it is located just behind the "golden ring". For eye relief purposes your scope placement is ideal. Nice collection oh by the way!

Fyrepowrx,

That .25-06 is something else!

Great photography also. Quite the collection.


If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer but how he hunted it.

Thanks for the compliments, have been fortunate enough to come across a few that have wood with some character to it....that 25/06 is a '77 vintage if i recall that came to me new in the box; seller had posted it at auction with some really dark pix that made it look pretty bland, and i was pleasantly surprised. wink

never had any issues with the 1.5-5x's or the 1-4x's in regards to positioning the front ring near the tube area of the leupold objective lens.

Here is my 1A that I picked up in Germany a few years back. It has a custom Claw scope mount and an ugly butt pad... Some trigger work has been done to it as well, it has a trigger shoe. The scope is a Kahles Fixed 6 I don't get to shoot much here in Hawaii but I recently had it out at Koko Head Range and wow... It hits the bull from 50 yards to 100 yards w/MOA and I managed to "ring the gong" on the steel target out at 250yards. The wood is amazing.

On Freedumb1's lead - since we're bringing up ex'es, here's a former (with a tear rolling down my face) Ruger #1 RSI in 7x57. It belongs to someone else from the Campfire now. How's the old girl doing? You taking good care of her? smile

What rifle is that may I ask?


Canada by choice, British by Blood


People think there's a rigid class system here, but dukes have been known to marry chorus girls. Some have even married Americans.

As tex n cal noted above, it's a Thompson Center TCR 87. This model pre-dates the much uglier Encore, but a fire at TC destroyed all the TCR production/parts. The rest is history.

I just scoped this plain Ruger .35 Whelen this Saturday. It's got a 1-4x20 Leupold on Ruger low rings. I sighted it in at 30y and verified 200y POI smile
