And a goodun at that. The wife's grandad passed away last week, RIP. Anyhow the father in law wanted me to come up today. Walked in and he handed me dandy little 88 308 that was his fathers. Damn nice little shootin iron, thinking 2-7 luepy? Can't wait to take er out and smack a buck or 3 with it. Later


Here he is with a ne Washington whitetail he killed with it back in the 70's...

Very sweet!

Awesome,and good of your FIL for entrusting a family heirloom to you! Hopefully it makes it down through your children and so on.
Never seen an extended magazine like that on an 88.

Thank you. Ya it'll eventually go the my boy, his grandson.

Ya I've owned and been around several 88's I've never seen one either. It's says "colyer clip" 243 and 308 stamped on the side of it.

Leuppys are for Remmys, put a 2-7 Leupold on that Winchester.

Believe that the Colyer Clip holds 8 rounds....

150 gr Partitions and RL-15 await patiently Judman, CONGRATS!!!!!

Haha I actually dug around and found a 3-9 leupold that's gonna sit on it

Haven't check but I figured it was damn near half box of ammo..

Funny you say that, that's the first boolit I was gonna try.

That's awesome dude!

It will serve you well.

Ordered up some talley LW's and a horsehair sling for it today. Ito go to Idaho this year to smack a couple bucks......

Great to have a family heirloom that nice - enjoy!

Ps terrific old photo of your Grandfather-in-law.

That is a dandy pic of him, dig the hat, I just laughed and laughed when I saw that! Haha

That is cool!

Damn just rolled into town and grabbed some factory fodder, that clip holds 10!! 10 in the belly 1 in the snout, that's some handy firepower!! Grin

Yes it is!! Thanks Drum!

Gotdamn!!!!! Leaning that little loaded heater against the table by the bed would work too.

Lmfao oh Schitt I'm crying!! Haha

The finished product, talley lw, old school 3-9, turned out perty handy..

Nice!

Aw now ya went and ruined it. Shoulda used a set of them tall over/under see-thru mounts. That, along with the "half-a-box" magazine, and you'd be the envy of the deer woods!


Just kiddin, nice looking rig! Looks ready to pound some bucks.

Father in law brought this by last night, still wrapped in plastic....



Pretty cool...

Very nice rifle. Hope it shoots nearly as great as it looks.
