And my 3 client goats from Texas last weekend. Didn’t take the time to measure any.

Here’s my personal best, 66” from northern Wyoming Mounted by gizmo.

Is this still in your shop? I’ll have to stop by and check it out! Pretty slick.

Yes it is, I’ll take it assuming it’s available.

Payment methods?

I’ve got some new Winchester super bulk packaged I’d turn loose of as well if you still need it. Not sure how much I have, let me know and I’ll dig it out.

Wisners inc makes a reproduction.

Not trying to force Talley onto you anymore, but I believe they do make 34mm rings in their detachable version, be it the quick release, screw lock, or fixed steel rings. Not the aluminum lightweight one piece rings however.

rear hole spacing is what to measure, should be .435. It’s shorter on the h&h actions. Here’s what I have on mine https://www.talleymanufacturing.com/product/steel-base-for-winchester-model-70-435-pre-64/

Do you know what year you have? My ‘48 h&h has both holes. I bought Talley bases and rings because I got them cheap, was going to go with leupold quick detach bases.

I’ve used old partitions with new interchangeably and never noticed a difference significant enough to change a load. After all, I’m not lobbing partitions at game at extended ranges.

Not to derail the 6.5 thread, but I’ve bought ammo for my safari rifles in the same manner. There’s been times you can get loaded ammo cheaper than bullets and powder.

Is the follower different? I had to modify one pretty heavily building a 404 Jeffery. With the follower in received form you’d stick that third cartridge in and all rounds would spit out the top. It wasn’t pushing the rounds to the side enough I guess, reprofiling it to match the fatter 404...

I think I had this happen after selling a Remington mountain rifle to a guy across the country last year. Except the box wasn’t tampered with, just ran over. Was crushed with tire marks. I had it in a hard plastic case, with packing material inside both box and case. Thank goodness the rifle was...

No but col. Charles Askins had one converted to left hand, I remember seeing it in his book, The Unrepentant Sinner. Interesting rifle made for a very interesting man.

In that case I’d probably get the frank wells 54. That man put out some magnificent rifles and you’ll have something unique and very special.

Not to mention the coned breech. If you’re looking for forum affirmation, I say get after it and let us know the results! What’s $300 anyways?

I’ve bought a handful of pre64 70s for fractional prices compared to a Dakota, last one was a few days ago. A 1948 300 h&h for $683 delivered. The stock was refinished and barrel bluing worn but in otherwise fantastic shape. I’m scrapping the stock and barrel and building a 375. With that said...

That’s my experience here as well. We’ve killed some big mule deer during archery season in my family’s Milo fields. Actually have better luck spot and stalk archery hunting than I do during rifle season. With the right wind you can crawl right up to them, or get ahead of where they’re feeding...

Seems to be the farmers way nothing is ever satisfactory. Always too wet, or too dry. First to complain about socialism, but first in line to get their subsidy check. I hear you, glad I’m not that big of a farmer!

I grow milo in the Texas panhandle. Dekalb 3607 or 3707 is my favovorite. You’re prolly planting a forage sorghum variety, any grain variety should be short with bigger heads. Big thing is keeping a low rate, in our drought stricken area 1.5 pounds per acre seems to be ideal for dry land...

It’s because disrespectful and naive hunters can be worse than the hogs themselves. Gates left open, ruts cut across fields, fence wires shot or damaged. Most guys are good but you get one entitled idiot and it ruins it for everyone. Dad used to manage a ranch that was leased to a hunting club...

You got a better solution for a damn near free fiberglass stock?

I think it’s safe to say you have a “type”!

I had a 35 whelen move in a couple years ago. First rifle I built myself actually, on a DWM gew98, with fn alloy bottom metal, and some random unknown make fiberglass stock I found for damn near free. And a stout contour shilen cut at 21” and threaded for a can. Handles nice with a dead air...

Especially at midway. They’ll post old stock on clearance, as if it’s being discontinued. Then next week it’s back in stock at a 20% markup and I’ll feel stupid for not buying!

I hear you on that. I shipped a rifle last fall to Washington state, box and case arrived crushed and with tire marks! Luckily the rifle was fine.

I have the sister rifle in 375. Very nice rifle, wish I could afford to add to the collection! Coincidently the scope on that 375 came from wyosteve on another forum! Great guy.

Nice! Funny thing, I had Erik mount a 2022 Wyoming pronghorn for me as well! I think I remember seeing yours in the shop before I picked mine up.

I’ve given serious thought to loading these subsonic in a 308 I carry while guiding in brushy country. Been a couple times I’ve dispatched wounded game up close and full powered loads are hard on capes and meat. I’ve loaded some a-max subs they don’t penetrate straight.

I’ve ran hammer bullets the last 2 years in my 300 win mag. Main reason I switched being I was tired of big holes in capes, not to mention meat damage. Turns out they’re more accurate than my partitions were. Exits are quarter sized instead of fist.

I’ve got a strong affinity to those Cabela’s limited edition rifles, was just thinking about them. Shoulda bought some when they came out!

I’d rather a boot be a little tight and grow to my feet anyways. As long as they’re not to short! With time I’m sure you’ll love them.

I’ve used a few other boot makers around Amarillo and know of some who’ve ordered becks. I’ve never heard any complaints, but like I said no first hand experience. Theres cheaper makers local who have just as good as product! I should add Becks is less than 20 miles from me

I wouldn’t discount the 140 grain partition, I’ve killed a pile of game with them in a 7x57; including a 340 pound mule deer I hit in the brisket at 270 yards. Bullet exited his hind quarter! Of the two you picked I’d choose the Barnes. Never had much luck getting the 140 grain AccuBond to...

Friend of mine just got a couple Hawkeye Africans in 416 and 35 whelen. The whelen is much more refined and polished, but that 416 shoulders and handles so nice it makes the 35 feel like a kids toy. Very lively rifle, I think you’ll do well with it!

Check out the Maven RS2. I’ve got a couple of them and have had no problems with zero shift. Very light weight as well. I did have one get crushed on a rifle I sold, but it looked like fed ex ran the box over with a forklift.

Curio and relic exemptions are for older firearms. Not sure on the date that allows eligibility for the exemption, but 1917 certainly falls in that category. Essentially antique collectibles don’t need to ship to a normal FFL dealer.

Sounds great! I’ve got some other friends looking as well, I’ll let them know.

I’d prolly take some of that brass off your hands. Been looking for some for a hot minute. Actually been holding off building a Jeffery until I found brass!

Be awesome if you could!
