Author Topic: Old work horse Rich 2,000th post PAKMAN Member # 112 posted February 25, 2006 05:06 PM                       Here is a photo of my old Mauser 98 in .25-06. I killed a heck of a bunch of coyotes with it before retiring the old girl in favor of a custom .257 Ackley. I have the old .25-06 fully glass bedded now. Just yesterday I lapped the scope rings and mounted a Weaver 3x-9x-40mm "tactical" scope on it. I plan to place the old work horse back in service. -------------------- If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.

A Ruger 77 is not much different, either. Good hunting. LB -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

Get that done, squeak out some cash for new glass and we'll be ready to do some calling again. I like the stock on your rifle. -------------------- I am only one. But still, I am one.

The same man who built the rifle for me also made the stock. -------------------- If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.

I like the taper on your bbl better, ours is a heavier Douglas (still tapered, but stout). We had a Weaver K-6 on it, but it's blind (temporarily) while we round up another scope. I'll give the .257 AI a good home. Krusty -------------------- Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize that half of them are stupider than that!
