Re: Lipsey 1V 243

I should have mentioned that my scope was an old Weaver T-10 that still works pretty well even with these old less than perfect eyes ;)

Lipsey 1V 243

This is one of the fast twist (7.7”) special issues from 2016 with the much preferred 26” barrel. I’ve been working on loads since I got it and finally have found a few that shoot well. Here’s a recent 100yd group using one of those loads. 105gr Hornady match HP, 2.5 cc W760, Win. LR primer and Lapu...

Re: #1 1/4 Rib, will it fit a #3?

Thanks for that, I was just wondering if the pitch of the mounting holes for the quarter rib was the same in #3 barrels as the #1 Most #3 barrels (except the 45-70?) more or less follow the #1 medium profile (1B, !S), however, there seem to be slight variations depending on serial number and calibe...

Re: #1 1/4 Rib, will it fit a #3?

I have plenty of No. Ones, but no longer have any original No. 3s, so I can’t help in any decisive way. But to the best of my recollection, the scope mount hole spacing is different for these two models. The No. 3 has always been a two separate piece scope base proposition.

Re: My 22s…

That 22 Mag. really shot! Only magnum I've ever seen with a match chamber. I should have hung onto that rifle - like so many others . . . . . :D Looks like I'm going to be the proud owner of the 22 Magnum again. Maybe I'll be able to hold onto it this time :roll: Hopefully, it still shoots this wel...

Re: FS - Kepplinger Trigger/Moulds Speed Hammer

Aftermarket No. One upgrades seem to be a hard sell these days. I’m not sure why, but I’ve had the same luck at selling mine.
Nobody is going to be making this stuff again anytime soon.

Re: My Creedmoor Saga

Very nice. My unmarked overrun of the Lyman Grade 2 works pretty well with these sights (rare Parker Hale rear aperture and BSA globe front). I've since switched to a NECG aperture sight on a rear Ruger 1V base and a Lyman 77 globe front sight on the original front scope block, which work just as we...

There's no accounting for taste . . .

I hope I'm not stepping anyone's toes here, but when I saw this, all I could think was this person had lots of time, a modicum of talent, and no taste. Oh, the humanity. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/ruger-rifles-1/ruger-custom-no-1-single-shot-rifle-458-win-magnum.cf...
