I picked up the gun for $400. It had been in a fire, mostly water and steam damage. Barrel and trigger were toast. If they don’t get hot enough to damage the wood, the metal is OK. I glassed it, had the Shilen fitted, pulled the mag block for a full 3.6” mag. Added a RUM box and follower, got a Timney on EBay for $105 delivered. Already had the Z3, mounted it and marked the yardages on the turret.
Monos at those speeds are accurate and destructive. They mess up more meat than one may think, kill with authority.
Low budget, but a lot of gun for the buck.
BTW, even though I have full mag 3.6” capacity, I’ve found my best groups at around factory 3.4” COAL. I guess that gives it a bit of free bore and monos do like to jump.
