Re: I have a confession to make ....

Took the .30-06 for a walk in the last two weeks, for sambar with Gryphon, it used to be my main hunting rifle for virtually everything.

Been using my "cowboy" BLR in .308 a lot recently instead as the .30-06 did not have a scope on it. Ordered a set of Conetrol mounts for it and had a Schmidt and Bender 4x scope set aside for it, but when the Conetrol mounts arrived, they were missing one base, and also the rings were too low for the bolt to clear the scope ...

Sort of got put aside for a while, too long, but with the need for a sambar rifle, the old Hillver Bridge mounts and 4x Weaver got put back on, and re-sighted in, in the dark before driving over to Melbourne over night on Saturday to arrive at the SHOT Show on Sunday morning.

Still shoots wonderfully, the last two 200 gr Nosler Partition Semi-pointed printed maybe a half inch apart at a 100 yards. Not bad for shooting in the dark with a torch illuminating the target!

Did not get to fire a shot in anger at sambar, but did see a couple which isn't too bad. Gryphon donated to me a nice backstrap from the hind he shot for meat, so I will be dining on sambar this month!
