Title: Re: Great Grandfather's Rifle
Post by Knute1 on Jun 18th, 2018 at 12:47am
Got together with my brother over Father's Day weekend. We had time to shoot some Winchester 30-40 cartridges I purchased some years back for a special occasion. This was the occasion and it was like opening up a special bottle of wine then we got shooting. We shot the 180 gr bullets and then reloaded some 200 gr along with 220 gr bullets. Seemed to do best with the 200 gr once the loads were worked up. The action worked like it should and the gun felt solid.
Below are some better pictures. Note the peep sight mounted directly to the top of the bolt. I am not sure of the repeatability for this setup,  but we shot well for neither of us using peep sights before. On Father's Day we took a 4-generation picture with the rifle as more from the family showed up on that day.
