Men

Here is one more photo showing the LHS of this lovely rifle. I had hoped to add it to my original post but couldn't for the life of me work out how to do that!!

Hope you enjoy it.

Sville +1, a peach, Iīm not a gold fan but the way the bands have been put on the swivel, gorgeous, and a ghost ring rear sight...also while not being a recoil pad fan that one looks fabulous, Iīd love a couple of shots with that, best

Oz thanks for the comment. This rifle loaded with 4 rounds tips the scales at 10lbs 10oz. I in fact spoke with the owner last week and he's shooting it often getting ready for his Ele hunt in Bots this August.

Daryl S,

I agree, I think we (shooters/hunters) are far too quick to scope a rifle. I guess we are searching for every advantage we can get. I grew up with iron sights and moved away from them over the years. I came back to iron sights while hunting Buffalo in thick cover (Botswana) several years ago.

I live in then state of Pennsylvania where the primary game is whitetail deer and the average shot is probably less than 75 yards. 95 out of 100 rifles are scoped, why? Probably due to marketing!

Either way I'm looking forward to trying out the sights on game in August.

Bryan




Based on my limited experience on ele hunting..think you will be happy with your decision...

Absolutely beautiful looking rifle btw...well done...

Ripp
