Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

Sir Jerry,
Asante sana for noticing.
I am OCD about guns and hunting and I will do what I can about it.
I am sure you know the feeling.
If I can't go shoot something, I am preparing to, to no end.
Here is another funny, the Dwarf Scope on the Dwarf Rifle, a .458 B&M+ (Winchester Throated),
which, if barrel was not just 16.9" long, could run with your Big Dog FN Browning .458 WM:





Fits perfectly on the Near Mfg. 20-MOA rail with LOW QRW.
That rail is same length on Freki the FN M98 .458 WM+, works there too.
Those rings get the scope tube about 0.30" above the top surface of the rail.
Large objective bell has to taper over end of the rail so full bell diameter is out in front of the end of the rail.
Barely works !
Would have to use it in the scout-scope location on the Ruger-Marlin peep-rail, and with higher rings, too funny !
Near 9" of eye-relief on 3X, near 5" on 9X, heh-heh-heh.

Please tell your cousin to keep the faith on the Ruger-Marlin, and keep looking !
I waited over 2 years for the local emporium to get one and they never did.
Must have been a long waiting list and I was nowhere near the top of it.
Then I strolled into a non-local emporium and they had 2 in stock for 2 days, before I left with the last one at full MSRP+.

BTW, those Low QRW 30 mm rings have been lying fallow since 2013,
when I walked into an emporium in Las Vegas and spied them.
Finally found a use for them.
Only time I have been to Sin City and what did I do ?
Look for gunshops and Elvis impersonators.
Oh, yeah, flew over the Grand Canyon on a helicopter ride with the Wife.
Not enough gunshops in Las Vegas to make me ever want to go back there.
