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... “There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot.” ALDO LEOPOLD

When I moved to Georgia a few months ago he told me to take it with me so I guess it is mine now. The rifle hadn't been shot is prolly 30 years and these were some targets I shot all same day. Not bad for $15 Federal Powershok!!! [Linked Image]

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.

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! Stolen from an erudite CF member.

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.

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.
