Hi elkhunternm,
May I ask why did you put a Leupold 3x instead that great Refield Bear Cub 4x32...?
Thanks!
PH
Not very good pics,but here is the nicest one I own.
Put a Leupold 3x on it recently.

I put the Redfield 4x on a little Interarms Mark X mini-mauser .223. I think it was a better match for the .223 than the Weaver 6x that was on it. The Leupold 3x was on a .375 RUM and I have Zeiss 4x in the gunsafe,so I took the Leupold off the RUM and put it on the .30/06 and put the Zeiss on the RUM.

I'd leave that one alone. However, I think it needs more of a
sagebrush type camo job ... You know those jackrabbits will see that realtree pattern.
Hmmmm......

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style.
You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole.

That is wonderful news! You know you'll have to share the continuing story of that rifle for years to come.

Can’t wait to get it out and warm it up a little. It’s really amazing how great it feels.
Don’t deserve a rifle this nice…. I’m going to have to go to etiquette school next

I believe I would like to give it a shot.
Here is a cool write up I found on Brownell, guess this rifle was made in 1965 going by this paper.
https://americansocietyofarmscollec...rd-M-Brownell-1933-1982-A-Custom-Gun.pdf I have a whole bunch of 7mm Partitions and BBC's so I think I'll be able to find something this rifle likes. Need to check it for twist, but I'd assume it has to be 10 or better.

I think it’s a 1956. Restocked by Donnie Gemes with ShowMe Gunstocks. Dropped this little pronghorn in its tracks at 280 yards.

I have to believe my pre-war 270 and post-war 358 Win are somewhere above. Both very nice rifles by unknown builders. The 358 Win worked well in Africa in 2012.
