    You got a nice one there. The workmanship was like fine art back then.

    So rejuvenating this thread because Helga will be Elk hunting in CO in Oct of 2020! A cast boolit pcd and gcd will be in the pipe. She is not a trim light weight girl but I guess I’ll carry her up the mountain anyhow for the first day at least!

    I’ve been impressed with how she shoots and she’s just so classy that she deserves to go someplace special!

    That attachment will not work for me. Say "invalid attachment" on my screen.

    I guess it shows my age, but I can fawn over a fine shooting iron like that, but have little interest in the latest whizzy bang out of modern factory/shop.

    AND that is not meant to denigrate the custom shop whizzy bang.

    So loaded up cast boolits in 185-1895 range and some Sierra 175 game Kings try to make the range soon but Saturday is supposed to be -5 F so I might just think about shooting

    On the compass; check your bolt for magnetism by passing it over a needle or pin.

    I remember that picture.............seems to me the boy was wearing a Davy Crockett "coonskin cap" too. Ah, the memories of Herters..........

    Long ago I tried Rem 170gr .321" CoreLokt RN in my ER Shaw 8x57. They grouped about 3" for three shots while correct .323" bullets would do half that.
