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

Pre 64 Standard 30/06 courtesy of our own BSA. I picked it up today and mounted the scope in some pretty cool old Redfield rings BSA donated. I'm proud of it and look forward to shooting and hunting the old rifle. I have horrible lighting for taking pictures indoors but did manage one decent enough to see it. I'll have to get a few outdoors asap. The rifle fits like a glove too!
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

I'm proud to be able to pass on the good deal to a friend like you!!!!I know you will take good care of that rifle, it's a good one.....

Outstanding trigger job too. Finish looks real good, hard to tell in my pictures but it does bring out the wood. A real nice shooter which by the way is exactly what I wanted. Length of pull was spot on.

I had a new supergrade in my hands last weekend and I think they need to do something with that funky colored extractor. It sticks out like a sore thumb
