Jonjon79 13,340 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 That's an interesting bunch mate ........ I'll look forward to seeing what you do with these. I reckon you should go nuts on the '77 and the lathe - come up with some proper space age FT type rig Any idea what the scope and mount is on the '35? 1 Quote Link to post

I can't gauge them on that though because SFS had had a pop at it. Don't you like those reticles mate? .......... I do do like AMX & SCB reticles but, there's just something about a simple, bog standard 30/30. Maybe it's nostalgia Quote Link to post

But, since a good mate gave me a really nice Simmons Whitetail Classic with a 30/30 reticle, I wouldn't have anything else to put it on Maybe put it in storage until you find a kiddy in need that's just starting out 1 Quote Link to post
