Howdy All, I unexpectedly inherited a 1926 takedown in .300 a couple months ago. It's worn, beat up, dinged, scratched and, as you can see, the butt stock has a slip on recoil pad and compass. Oh, the horror! The scope is a 4x Kollmorgen.
I cleaned it up, remounted the scope and sighted it in. Accuracy was good and the glass was surprisingly clear.
Took these two dink Georgia does this past weekend with factory Remmy 150 CL's. Both broadside lung shots @ 50 yds, bang-flops within seconds of each other. Pic show the exit sides. Really liked the fast follow up for the second shot.
LOL! 2x DRT's with a 1920 designed cartridge in an 85 year old rifle with a +/- 65 yr old scope. Have to admit I was chuckling as I climbed down the tree I was in.
Thanks Gramps and RIP. Wish I could've told you in person.
FYI, I'm a new 99 fan and hooked on my "new" deer rifle. Might hafta check around for another or two....
