I cringe when I bump my Featherweight on the ladder of a stand. I'd be suicidal if I did it with one of these. On the other hand, if I could afford one of these, I might not care as much...just send them back to the spa once a year.

Of course, you'd have to shove it into something that looks like this: http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/mlward_ssa/Rigby2_zps49b040a7.jpg Rev-I couldn't afford that scope, much less the rifle. What manufacturer is it? What a beauty. Last edited by Kitch; 04/09/14. Kids are for people that can't have dogs

Wasn't planning to pick up another of these, but after seeing the second one (last photo), I could not resist. Too nice to leave on the rack.

I went looking to see what they had and found what appears to be the same one. At least the wood looks the same. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Winchester-Model-70-Super-Grade-7x57-Mauser/1838842.uts Kids are for people that can't have dogs
