@A330driver
Did u Merica today
Fuck yea
The original bushpig - Winchester Model 94 Trapper, 30-30win. 16 inch barrel, overall length 860mm (tape measure is set at legal minimum for a rifle).
Not exactly new, I bought it 31 years ago, but it about to have a scope for the first time.

How do you get on putting a scope on a top eject?Quote:

A Leupold VX Hog 1-4 x 20 is going on it, if it doesn't work out it will replace the cheapish 2.5 x 20 i have on another rifle. The Trapper has always had open sights for shooting bailed pigs, so I could see where the dogs were. No dogs now and eyesight getting worse, so now it gets the scope.
angle eject model works fine with weaver bases and a scope . . .

Nice @R93 I will be getting a slightly longer extension but not until after I get the E-cat endorsement
Fair enough. If it goes as good as mine you will be very happy with it.Quote:

Doesn't like one brand of ammo (can't recall which) but cycles both light and heavy loads of the good stuff.

@Gruntzer yours does look longer my magazine tube ends 2 1/2 inches before barrel end but it does take 7+1 though, just aint got one of those tactical chokes, they look cool
The longer magazine extension is E-cat (8 rnds), but I have a small loose plastic rod to keep it to 7x 2-3/4 shells.
I think the Police told them (dealer) they had to stop this and hence supply them with the shorter magazine tube.
The only reason I keep the tactical breaching end on it is because its a good barrel protector.
Yeah the Police have done guess to line up with ar15s only having a max 7 round mag for A-Cat,
I've got Briley extended choke on mine

Choice, im glad its getting a workout:thumbsup:
Always wondered, what are the SHVs or NF in general like for hunting?Quote:

The best thing about all NF scopes is they are bullet proof, dial perfect & are very reliable :cool:
glass wise, lets make the vx-# line the standard of measure. how would it compare?Quote:
