Re: Orvis 12 gauge Red Label

Pretty nice looking rabbit hole.
I'm sure we all have had a regrettable interlude along the way. Mine is a 20 ga.

Re: .357 MAGNUM Deerfield?

Yeah, Ron, I'm thinking a tacti-cool, 16.5-inch version with a forward picatinny would be a popular offering. A 10-round magazine would be nice.

Re: .357 MAGNUM Deerfield?

Fascinating stuff. Thanks for putting a fine point on it, Mr. Dougan.They had to stay with the rimmed .44 case head in the 44 Carbine for several reasons, I guess. That 40-44(?) round would have been really interesting but ammo would probably have become a problem. I love my 3-digit Deerstalker but ...

Re: 10/22 magnum Sporter project

Thanks, Jay. Another interesting bit is that it came with a trigger group from a company called Brimstone that is completely unique. The factory trigger return has been removed with the hole drilled-through and threaded for a set-screw trigger stop. Their trigger return spring is on the trigger pin ...

Re: 10/22 magnum Sporter project

I found another donor gun for my original concept project. The first one is back in the Hogue stock and going out the door. This one came with a factory stock and barrel but missing the band. It is SN 290-29554, which puts it as a 2001 date of manufacture and it carries the double-extractor bolt. As...

Re: Leupold Ruger m77 rings

The answer is: Ruger rings mic at .631" wide and the Leupold version are .546" wide. I used a Leopold set to mount a VX-2, 2-7 x 28mm Ultralight scope on my M77 RLSDZ Lightweight rifle. Just barely fits but it is in a good position with ample bolt handle clearance and it looks great as a c...

Re: A special 96/44

I recently contacted Bryce Towsley through Facebook to inquire about whether he had any information on the rifle. The only record he had was the receipt and return dates. His differ from the factory in that they indicate he didn't return it until September, 1997. A one-month turnaround at the factor...

Leupold Ruger m77 rings

These rings look a little narrower than factory rings, which would suit the installation of a tube that's about 1/16" too short. Anyone know if that is true?
