After getting my snow plowed and shoveled. I grabbed my new to me, model 70 in .416 Taylor.
21” barrel, Timney trigger and custom stock and took it out on this breezy, sunny day.

The scope is dead nuts.

but it came with a two leaf sight that hit low. This new 3 leaf needed to be sighted in. Fixed sight is low, 2nd leaf closer to the bull and last leaf if high. Just above the target. All with flat tops and no file work.

It is a balmy 7 degrees F. at 2:50 in the afternoon where I'm at in Michigan and you live North of me. I'm glad your rifle shoots well, it might even shoot better after you warm up a bit. LOL
 
Cajun, from what I understand a retired Michigan smith named M. Lambert

Shootist the sun lured me out.

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
