Re: Grandfather's .22

Have been meaning to take the promised photos. The rifle has been in my hands now for a few months. So far it has killed a red bellied black snake in my truck shed with bird shot. I was looking for the Lithgow or .410 then realised my Dad's firearms are back in his own safe again per legal requirements. So the Mauser was abused in this way, with shot, to kill a dangerous snake in the shed. More on that story later.

Took it out with me this week for a walk to change the irrigation taps in the vineyards. Saw a LOT of rabbits and shot off a lot of cartridges ... open sights are not going to cut it at the distances I now shoot at. Not like when I was fifteen and stalked to within 10 yards of a rabbit ... so last night drove to the city and acquired a new set of Leupold mounts and a Leupold rimfire 2-7x scope to fit the dovetails on the action. From Fisher Firearms in Adelaide who were very helpful and friendly as usual in finding the right mounts and scope.

Pictures will follow soon !!! I hope.

I think I will have Grandpa's rifle restored completely, and have his initials added to it, same as mine.
