    Sporterized 1903-A4

    Thanks, Sihr. I've managed to collect most of the bits I need to restore it over the years. That said, from a purely competition standpoint, unsporting a sporterized 03-A3 might be better. A modern barrel might shoot better, but not be historically accurate.

    Sporterized 1903-A4

    I've been planning a new CMP vintage sniper match project utilizing a sported 03A4 that I got years ago. The rifle was very finely polished and blued, but the metal appears to be uncut...so no need for a new barrel, bolt, or scope mount. I've got most of the bits for the restoration. I 've...

    Swiss K31: Stunning

    Swiss Products has long made a clamp-on Scope mount for the K31. The problem is that it mounts the scope to the right side of the bore axis. They have now alleviated that problem with an add-on that places the scope over the bore axis. https://www.swissproductsusa.com/product-page/k31-obm

    Swiss K31: Stunning

    I wondered about the lack of parallax adjustment, but note that many scopes in that power range do not have that feature

    Swiss K31: Stunning

    That is a nice scope. A few years ago Natches was blowing them out and I grabbed myself a few. Nice glass, repeatable adjustments, made in Japan.

    Swiss K31: Stunning

    That is a good point. In the absence of Berger 175 VLD's, I think the Barnes and Nosler RDF's are as close as you can probably get to the GP 11 projectile.

    Swiss K31: Stunning

    Nosler has a line of Reduced Drag Factor "RDF" bullets out. I picked up some of the 175 gr .308 RDF's. Very similar to the Barnes Match Burners. I noticed the meplat is much smaller and more uniform than other .308 175 gr match bullets. Various 175 gr .308 bullets... Sierra MK, Nosler Custom...

    Swiss K31: Stunning

    I'm not sure how much improvement you could get by replacing the GP 11 projectile. These are 175 gr Nosler CC, Sierra MK, Barnes Match Burner, and the GP11 projectiles. I think the Barnes MB is similar to the Berger

    Bausch and Lomb 10x40 tactical scope

    My B&L 10x40 tactical scope arrived today. Looks to be in very good condition. The optics are crystal clear. I'm surprised how much bigger and heavier it is than the Bushnell 10x40 tactical scope. Next to my Bushnell 10x40...

    H&R M12

    Some months back I glommed an H&R M12 at an estate auction. It didn't come with sights, but did have a rare Ken Viani scope rail. The rifle looked to be in excellent condition. I had an issue with the rifle (trigger and/or bolt was dirty) which took a little time to sort out. During the...

    Scope mount for a Finnish Lion small bore target rifle

    I finally broke down and had the barrel drilled for scope mounting blocks. I then used an EGW model 52 Winchester cantilever mount on the rear block position for a Bausch and Lomb 6-24 scope. The barrel on the Finnish Lion is quite a bit heavier than the Winchester, so I had EGW re-radius the...
