‘03 Springfield that’s been sporterized. 545,000 serial number range gets used with starting loads. Wish I could post pictures but I’m pretty incompetent at that.

My sporterized 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser turned 100 this year. It's one of those that Kimber sporterized in the mid 1990's which is now in a Bell & Carlson stock, a Dayton Traister trigger and a few other goodies. The "1922" stamp on the receiver ring is still visible behind the front scope base. If I were more tech savvy I'd post a picture but this web site is a pain for that.

Still the old pair of Winchester 303 Brits. The P-14 took a nice eating doe on opening weekend for one of my oldest friends 14 year old son. Believe it or don't, some of the younglings know how to use peep sights. In his case, writing cursive, reading analog watches, and driving manual transmission cars are also part of his skill set. Remember when despairing for the newb generation that the media, MSM or otherwise, will show the SLOWEST members of the herd.

I have a Marlin 1893 in 30WCF that was made in 1896. It is the rifle in the bottom of those 1895s. I hunted that rifle pretty hard during my youth. I shot a wolf once that was attempting to kill our dog in 1985. I killed no end of owls, hawks and coyotes that were trying to get our chickens. That long sight radius and the way that is hangs offhand makes it a stone dead homestead killer. I never shot anything bigger than a wolf with it but I went on two sheep hunts with it when I was young and tough. I used to go with the rifle and a can of corned beef hash and just hike back up into the Tonsina Contolled use area for sheep. I would drop down below timberline and siwash under a spruce tree with a little fire and I would stay ok. It is a wonderful old friend.

Although I haven't killed anything with it, I have packed an 1867 Peabody .44-77 quite a few miles. The killer was a cut down 1896 model Swede with a crest date of 1903. But I have gone full on WalMart modern now with a 1935 Peruvian Mauser in 7.65 Belgian. Not because it's better than anything in particular, but the stock fits me like it was bespoken.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Stevens 425 made in 1912. Oddly enough I procured a lease last year that was once family property owned by my wife's family a couple of hours away and this was her great grandpa's rifle.
