Butchered that little sow and have her on ice. Not a bad Friday evening.

"I'd love to know what loads he used as well. Kynoch? Something else? 140 HV or the 173? Evidently, he didn't think that recording the details of the rifles and loads was terribly important to the story."
Rev. Mike. I would imagine that considering the size and power of th tiger that Corbett most likely use 175 gr. bullets for the penetration. I would think that considering the "quality" of bullet construction during that time period that the 140 gr. HV just might be a tad too fragile for the big cats. Makes sense to me anyway.

That makes sense to me as well, especially considering the use of a heavy double for other cats.

Question for Mule Deer,
I bought new model 70 classic light weight in 7x57 Mauser
the first of the year and was thinking of placing a 1.5x5
leupold on her..what say you? Also found today a new #1 RSI
in .280 Remington and will pick this girl up if she still is
at my local dealer this week-end.

That would work. So would some other scopes!

This 'un sure does: Leupold 2.5-8 VX3 ![[Linked Image]](http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/mlward_ssa/Boar_01_18_2014_zps9a660eb4.jpeg) And this one: Leupold 1.5-5 VX3 (I posed the rifle on Corbett's books because it makes it look grandiose). ![[Linked Image]](http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/mlward_ssa/Ruger_No_1_zps45da2869.jpg)

Thanks for all the replies gentlemen, I have a 030-06 with
the little 1.5x5 on her and really like it,have used this
set-up for at least 25 years. I have never owned or
shot the 7mm Mauser but reading every thing I could find
on this rifle/cartridge combination it seems as if this
little scope would be about ideal. Now to start looking at
140,150 and 160 grain bullets for loading my new pet rifle..
Happy Trails to all
Larry

I use the Vortex 2x7 Viper with Dead Hold BDC on my 7x57. This scope matches it perfect. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/bea175/Remington%207x57%201_zpswaep8dyt.jpg)

Rev. What! No hard bounds?-Muddy They are hard bounds; just the omnibus edition. I'm waiting for Ingwe to die and leave me his leather bound Safari Press limited editions...along with the Ingwe Special, of course. Been feeling poorly lately, Ingwe? Should I send you my shipping address?

"Taken ownership". Is that similar to "ripped off"?  Nice rifle, looks like a good kid, some nice animals.
