    Now I just need to get some new rings and I can mount the scope

    You are making me feel guilty for selling the blued Optilocks to another forum member.

    Baikal double in 45/70

    I am actually impressed with the value this gun represents.Its certainly no London Gun but the quality has come a hell of a long way from the examples I handled in the states 15 years ago.

    With a bit of polishing and swapping the sights, this has the potential to be a great working Rifle.Name: 20200421_184942.jpg Views: 633 Size: 4.58 MB

    Nah-had in my head they did other calibres like the euro rimmed types. Only do 308-3006 and 45/70. I probably would stick with 45/70.

    Upgunned the .223 Standard profile Howa that was in the KRG Bravo stock to the full 26” .308 heavy profile.
    It’s the proper Howa KRG Bravo now with the enlarged bolt handle.
    The VX3 4.5-14 Loopie is a holding pattern until I put something fancier on it.
    Probably a Mark 4, VX5HD or Nightforce SHV.

    The Howa .223 action is now in a standard Hogue stock but with mag conversion fitted.
