Oh yeah, the stainless with the Monsanto stock...real piece of Americana right there.

Alrighty then ... Faux Rigby Stalker in 275R.



Not just a safe queen either ......

Obviously there's more Thurston Howell than Elmer Fudd types here.

Thurston would peer over a cup of tea with disdain.

If we're going outside the original description, killed a couple doe and a buck with this one in the last 5 yrs. My Dad's old M71 348 that he bought new when he was a youngster. His one and only carry rifle for 20 + yrs.

My most used deer rifles are still lever actions, as has been the case since I bought my first model 94 back in the '70's. Bolt actions of any description were a rarity in the deer woods here back then, while levers, pumps and auto's clearly dominated the Catskills. I hunted for several years before I ever ran into another hunter armed with a bolt action rifle and that was a non resident with a post 64 model 70 chambered in .243 Winchester.

Wow

I maybe a Fudd lite got a couple laminated wood 270s they like 150 round nose though.

Super Cub thats a very nice 275 Rigby as is the buck. It's my favorite caliber. Congrats on both

I hunted a lot of years with on 06 and pretty much used 180 gr RNs, IF I could not find any 220 grain RN on the shelves.
Took deer out to 300 yds with those 220 gr RNs. They just work, period.

Also carried a 2 x 7 scope on top of my bolt action rifle ( a Browning A Bolt ), but mine was a Leupold Shot Gun Scope.
In this stuff, I liked those thicker set of crosshairs.

As I've aged, I've migrated down to 6mm and 6.5 mm. Last two deer I've taken, was one with a 6.5 Grendel, handloaded with a 140 gr Speer and the one this past season, was with a 6 x 45 and a 95 grain ballistic tip. Both of those were bang flops.

Well If I had a rifle like that and it dropped a buck like that, I wouldn't be complaining much...
What more do ya want.

I don't do wood stocks anymore, except laminates. I like a stock, I don't have to worry about killing the finish on it.
Rifles I do hunt with, that have wood stocks are my batch of model 70s....

Only a Fudd would put a vent rib on a rifle. A custom Sako in 7X57AI.

I get extra points for green and black check wool.

Yup. This started out with good intentions but went down some sort of slippery slope

Ding, ding, ding ....... We have a winner in the classic Fudd category.

Some of my other Fuddyosynchronicities:

530 grains, 30:1




100 yards




200 yards w/15-30 mph L-R crosswind
