Now that's a good looking Reproduction.
Can't wait to see the shooting results.
HS 58 Well thanks! Here are the 2 best targets of the day. 2 different brands of ammo: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/GzFxqgb.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/MyVeR1M.jpg) And then back to the Wolf Match Extra to confirm ammo, zero and rifle: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/bFiK5Kl.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/7RMoYVS.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/3EwaecT.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/4HdMvIA.jpg) I'm pretty happy with it. A very nice late Christmas present.. I'm glad I did not pass it up at that shop. BSA That's a shooting machine. At what range were those groups fired. They might have been smaller if the benches weren't shaking.  What's the story on those benches. Are they made out of 3/4" plate ? Hal Thanks Hal. That is the 50 yard rimfire range. Yeah, those benches are beasts. I like them. They were donated to the range by a welding shop. They are 1" steel plate.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Thanks Gents, i pulled all the old vintage ammo yesterday, simply cant chance a hangfire/detonation etc, brass resized and primed with cci-250's, will begin new load development soon, 175gr grand slams over imr-4350 will get it done.
Damn cool thread, great shooting rimfires, sweet compact, safari express and hell of a spruce up job on that one Fubar!

Not a rifle, but I did get a nice long action featherweight stock to upgrade my recently purchased 270 Win Model 70 Ranger. Thanks Santa! ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Z53Pkk9c/6-A5-FC8-EB-298-A-47-CC-903-F-3-C9-C5-F05-ACCF.jpg) Nice wood. Congrats. DF

My pleasure Brother Fubar, great job on that model 70, it'll make you a fine hunting rifle, zeroed the irons on the old rifle with 175 grand slam load for another rifle, put two stacked right on top of each other at 100 so i know it'll like the bullet and powder, yes Sir, i took a little break to do all the Lords work i could over the last year, plus, getting a break from a couple jaw jackers here ; ]

DF A dirty african bovine cow at UPS said we dont ship ammo here as i tried to hand her my box with hazmat label plainly visible, i told her loudly bringing her politics to work was going to get her sued and fired! as i turned to leave with my box in hand the crowd was bugeyed with mouths open except for one old tall man in the back grinning at me. i dropped box off a gunsmith, he mailed it for me ; ]

I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Would it pay for us seasoned citizens to start marketing some of the guns in our safe that we aren't actually using? I don't even like thinking that, but reality does eventually set in. And leaving it all for our loved ones to sort out may not be the best option. DF

Well you for sure aren’t a typical youngster, think more like an old geezer.
Ha!
Good for you. At least you got some class.
