That is a very well done rifle. It yells I'm a classy dame when you pick her up wink

Hey Ingwe, my brother in law (BIL in my pig posts) just joined the Cool Kids Club: he couldn't stand it any longer and bought a Cabala M70 7x57. He's going to mount it in a VX-3, 2.5-8, same as I use. Another member added to our exclusive group. cool

Question for y'all that have a sling swivel attached to your barrel: how does it work when using a "hasty" sling hold? Seems like it's a long reach.

Dunno. I dont shoot with a sling. Shouldn't be bad though,your left hand will still be pinned to the for end I would think.

Rev, short answer is yes for me. Mine all have short Rigby style for-ends placing the front band closer than if on a standard length for-end. I also generally have a leather glove on my left hand while hunting, both for movement through woods/brush and to shoot with (the other is in my right rear pocket). I use a sling a lot for shooting (small bore and high power target shooter). I took my Mod. 70 classic sporter 25-06 Antelope hunting a few years ago and after carrying that thing around w/a steel bipod on it all day went back to only a sling. Don't generally use a highpower style shooting sling but one that at least I can hasty up or can use the loop up front. I always have a sling on my hunting rifles, makes dragging game easier w/both hands, take it off and use a drag strap for non horned animals ect.-Muddy

Thanks Muddy. I got in the habit of using a hasty sling years ago and am no longer conscious of it. I just automatically do it. I've never used one with a barrel band though and was just wondering.

Rev. Just turned on the outdoor channel and a guy was dragging a bear w/his sling!. We got no pigs up here but how do you get a hold of one of those things to drag?-Muddy

You just grab him by the legs and drag him to a place open enough to get the truck to. grin

Muddy, I'd love to see a picture. How far forward of the receiver is the barrel band?

Rev,you asked how well the Pre '64 Featherweight .30-06 shot. Took it out this morning and this was the best group.

[Linked Image]

It's a .396" group at 100 yds,not bad for a 58 yo rifle and a 4x scope. wink Going to load up some more and take it out tomorrow and see what it does again with the same load.

Thanks Mag! Taking it out tomorrow and see if it'll do a repeat. Of course I need the right amount of coffee to help with the trigger pull. wink
