I have been looking for one of those and set it just like that , bloody nice set up

Another one finished that belongs in here

Winchester 1885 parts rifle.
Vulcan 30 cal 1:10" 26" long
30-40 U.S. Gov't
Leupold M8 3x

I have built it as an every day carry classic .
Good selection of 30 cal projectiles made the caliber decision for me

Rings will be swapped out for steel ones when available

It shoots really nicely

Just getting it on the paper, testing loads and breaking in the Vulcan barrel

dont forget to put your scope caps back on ....

Have put this one on here before in this configuration

But i have just picked up from a mate who borrowed it for a month or so and done some work on the stock (with my permission)
Now looks like this

The only thing it really needed

It is a Howa Mini 6.5 Grendel
Jefferson bottom metal
Boyeds heritage wallnut imported by geoff at gunrack for me
My friend done the checkering

this is gorgeous

Nice. Best Howa mini I've seen!

Picked up this cracker of a 30 06 Sako off a forum member today, needless to say absolutely stoked thanks @xor
Definitely gonna have to sus out some higher rings for it.....who knows might play around with the iron sights too for shits and gigs.
Will get some better pics when weather allows.

@dannyb I have a few sets of Sako rings like that in the workshop

Will go look after my chicken curry

@dannyb these ones are real low
About 8mm

Just put a smaller scope on yours
Would look good with a vx3 1.5-5

Original Vintage 1"Sako Ring Heights.Lows 3/32" from top of dovetail to bottom of ring 1/2 round scallop.Mediums 5/16".Highs 15/32" You,ll need to convert to decimal currency to get to @akaroa1 metric system

5/16th

Danny will pass them on Al if he can't use them
