Pulled the scope from it and sold it to this young man for his first elk rifle. His Dad gave me $300 for it. Very cool thing to do..

Here is one from our scouting trip yesterday at about 8000'. Model 1920 Savage in 250-3000. Was trying to figure out why that had an ebony tip on the forearm. Finally blew it up and saw it was just shadow. Sweet rifle! +1

Very cool thing to do.. His dad is my good buddy and hopefully I'll be there to watch him use it in a year or so on his first elk. Here is how well he shoots it, a picture my buddy sent me: So this is how the rifle shoots in the hands of a 9 year old. Granted he has had a bunch of trigger time for being 9 but I was impressed with his shooting and the rifle! Load was 53 grains of IMR-4350 and 130 grain Speer bullets, not max but no slouch load either, he said it kicks "insanely" but he shot it 4 times, then went on to shoot the .257 Roberts about 10 shots. Sorry for the picture camera phone. The orange center is 1" and the groups was shot from sandbags at 100 yards.

My new Browning A-Bolt .308 Win, with trimmed down barrel and stock. Wearing a Vortex Crossfire 2-7x32 (temporarily) until my Minox 1.5-8 and Talley ultra-low Lighweight rings come in off backorder.

There's no gun. But there's fence posts. And a horse. Taunting a bull.

Holy sheep [bleep]! That's one fine shootin' iron.

Wowza! Man thats nice, Karnis has out done himself.
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

A beautiful example of the gun makers art!!!
Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths. "there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser" "the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"
