Some nice pictures in this thread...
Mine is a non-ported 1895G with a Weaver V3 1-3x20mm, two piece weaver bases and low rings.
The guys saying "mount it forward" have got it right, I think, you try a stiff load off the bench without putting a good grip on the forend and that thing will cut you another mouth on your eyebrow.
Only factory I ran through mine was the Rem 300g HP. Clocked 1580 fps in mine and gave ~2" @ 100 yards.
Handloads...I love loading for the thing. Jacketed I use H4198 or Rl-7 with the Hornady or Nosler (sadly discontinued) 300g to push right up on 2000 fps, the Hornady for deer, the Nosler for tougher game. Cast, I use 2400 and Unique to push a 350g cast bullet to 1400 and 1125 respectively. I also use Rl-7 to push the same cast bullet to 1770 for a nice thumper. All loads under 1.5" @ 100, from mild to...not mild.
It's a great rifle and cartridge combo.
