Used to be if you got interested in a used rifle, .22 to 30-06, the stock warn location was a clue it had spent some time in a "rifle rack". Not sure what value that information was. Maybe that it was carried more than shot. 5 or 6 years ago I found a pre 64 mod. 70 in .220 Swift in a small gun...
I don't care for heavy duty chemicals. Sweets 7.62 and harsher especially. I came across this stuff several years ago and used it to clean out a 30 year old 243 varmint barrel. I've since used it to "recondition" most every old barrel, hand gun, hunting rifle, etc. The clean up oil Corbin sells...
I have two .22 mag revolvers. A S&W 6" 48 and a Colt Trooper 6". The Trooper is barrel heavy making the 48 easier for me to shoot. My guess is if both were fired from a Ransom rest the accuracy would be similar.
22 Hornet and the other in .221 Fireball. Both rifles wear identical scopes - Leupold VX-3 LR, 6.5-20x40
Over the years Leupold has changed their scope names several times. If you are happy with the two you have why change. I wouldn't even know what Leupold calls the equivalent now. I too like...
Why worry about choke tubes. The Superposed was designed with fixed chokes. If the fixed chokes aren't what you need buy a different choked Superposed.

My brother lives in California and he's the LAST person I'd want to have my guns
Wow.....I've lived in California for 70 years. Seen all kinds of things change. I've owned over 150 firearms over the years of buying and selling, given to my children over 50. Still have over 60. I can not imagine...
I learned a couple things from this thread. Years ago I worked in the woods wearing 10" corked boots and heavy rag wool socks that extended at least 3 inches above the boot top. Saved all the socks for occasional hunting use and started storing mostly revolvers in them. Barrels from 6 to 8 3/8"...
Oh boy cdb1, you may be really right. The 30 mm is a Zeiss.
Pretty good insight.
I also have a 15 year old Leica 20-60 spotting scope. Makes almost everything at the range look blurry. It is the glass.
Back to the op and scope height on a stock Rem 700 rifle for varmint use.. I don't know much about levels and all this other stuff. I have been using varmint rifles since 1975. Four of them. All with heavy barrels. A Sako .222, Rem 700 .243, custom Mauser single shot 22-250, and a Cooper .204...
I too have a FN deluxe .458 with iron sights sans the Maple stock. Probably missed it but haven't seen a factory American sporter with a Maple stock for 40-50 years. Winchester obviously stained the checkering. No doubt for some contrast. My eyes haven't figured out if they like that or not.
One of the original specifically chosen "survival weapons" that I remember was a drilling in 12x12ga over 9.3x74R for the German Luftwaffe. It's purpose was for a downed pilot in hostile country to survive by killing game or people until rescued. A "societal collapse" is what war is all about.

That is a very nicely done 1903A3. Here is a poor photo of a gunsmith school project rifle. A 1903 in 308 Norma Magnum. To have it built now would cost 3 times more than a off the shelf 300 Win Mag.
From Sam.."When military surplus rifles were "take your pick out of the barrel - $15" down at the hardware store, sporterizing one was a great way for Joe Average to get something like one of those glorious Winchester Model 70s for his modest hunting needs. So, they were cut down and altered in...
