Re: Old School

That won't get many, if any other comments here because it's not nearly 'modern' enuff!! That equipment was highly thought of 50 years before most of the kids here were anything but a gleam in their Dad's eye!!

I love it!!

Re: Old School

I still can't get over the scopes....they look like a long tube. There's some black powder shooters that shoot at my range and they all have these scopes.

I'd like to see more pictures of the rifle and the event.

'The scopes'...have the finest lenses ever made IMO! I have two Unertl scopes; both with external mounts and both have 100% repeatability for returning to zero! Won many 1000 yard Any Any Prone Matches with them!
