As Steve said, those are fine looking guns.
Here's a couple of old cleaning rods.

Joe, those look a lot like the Marble's match safes. Look to be very well made.The book they rest on is a must have if you have an interest in the rifle. A great reference book for old rifles, scopes, sights and just a good read front to back too.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Thank you, Steve.
Yes, these cleaning rods are very well designed and machined. The rods will rotate in the bore.
The book: I haven't looked in that book in years. Your remarks made me look at it again and if someone wanted a bit of education on the rifle get your education here.

Did some more shooting at the range with my Colt AR-15

Only 25 yards indoors but keeps me going.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Most of that group would still be tight at 250 yds, theoretically.

Camillus, Just realized your AR is a genuine Colt - nice (good shooting rifle too!) OH

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Getting ready for the upcoming deer season, put a new scope on my old 270 WIN this past week. Need to get to the range soon and zero it with my handload. OH

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Thank you Phil. The scope is a Leupold VX-6, 2-12x42mm CDS. It is a Euro style with 30mm tube. I traded for it from a buddy last week; they are on close-out right now, superseded by the identical HD version by Leupold. Check out Euro Optics on-line if you have an interest. OH

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Thanks Bruce. That one's a little rich for my pocket book. I have a VX-1 in 3x9 mounted on my Remington 700. I need to get it sighted in. To date, the gun has never been fired.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Traded for this 2009 Browning X-Bolt,30-06 last week -- today,I got it scoped with a Nikon 2.5X10X42 Monarch,bore-sighted, and will take it to the range next week __ my biggest challenge each year is deciding which rifle to take opening morning of deer season
Bruce that model 70 is a real ""BEAUTY"" --- was trying to trade for a 1968 Winchester 70 in 308,before I ran up on this Browning** ( may still take another look at it ?? )

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
Nice new Browning Monk! I thought you were going to hunt with the Browning BAR for this season's opening day? I've been tinkering around with buying a 95% condition 30-06 SPRG BAR that was made in 1967 - it's been in a local pawnshop for several months now. Not sure if I should do it or not - really don't need another 30-06 (or another rifle) but I do have several spare Leupold's..........heck, blackpowder starts tomorrow and I'm going fishing!

Cam, I see no value in them except making a big loud fireball.
Without a buttstock I can't hit anything. I much prefer the full sized rifle or carbine!
