they come up on Gunsinternational quite a bit. some of them are works of art for sure.My friend, who was like a step-dad to me had a cart load of them: all built on 98 mauser actions with 36" barrels. (I'd call them med. heavy) Stocks were beefy, kind of like the 40X type. The cartridges that I remember were. 6 Remington, 25-06, 257 Roberts, 22-250, .222 Rem., and crazy but true-- a .22 Long Rifle.
They were beautiful, in a plain utility way. My friend's uncle was the smith who built them, and he later married his Mom, becoming my friends step-dad.
I probably would have ended up with at least one of them, but frankly they didn't hold much interest for me back then. They were gawd awful heavy, single shots, and old school scope mounts. My friend had a son who inherited them, and probably sold them for a song.jd
Wolfdog -Anyone got any pictures of some of the older school long range hunting/ varmint rifle set ups before got as mainstream as it is now days?
Thanks![]()
Nmkid -There was a magazine in the late 80s about long-range varmint hunting. I don't remember the name anymore but, it was a wonderful magazine. The thing I remember the most were pictures of guys' rifles on portable benches with extraordinarily tall scope mounts(?). I mean the scopes were way above the rifle. I think it was because in those days the scopes didn't have enough built in elevation.
