i wanted one of these for 20 years! never had one in front of me or in a show, or a gun list ad.:? tell us how it shoots, photo's too.<><dk

Here we go -



Lars since it is already drilled and tapped, I suspect you could custom fit an Anschutz rail or Weaver type base onto the rear receiver bridge and mount about any type of currently available target diopter,e.g., Anschutz, Centra, etc., you want on it. With the muzzle diameter, .825 inch/20.95 mm, you could either mount an Anschutz base, or reduce to .750 inch and mount one of the Centra elevation adjustable front sights.

Just got an email from a fly fishing friend of mine, he wrote that he uses white bee's wax on his cork fly rod grips and it keeps them in very good condition.

thank you for the tip on the white beeswax... will get some asap.
I also owned a 1622 and there are significant differences.... I am in process of disassembling things to understandall that they have done in this rifle. the bolt is different, the solid bottom action makes for a very rigid action couple that with the 6mm Hex head cap screws to lock the action into the wood and I see why it will shoot. I will take some close up pics and post as soon as I get them done. I am surprise by how little this gun was shot...that and no one i think thought to remove the barrel counterweight to see the fine fit line of the false muzzle device... because when I took it off... I found lint, a leaf or two and other stuff...interesting type crown as well....but it is the trigger that is truly out of sight...haven't measured it yet.. but I am guessing it is in the few hundred milligram range... no movement what so ever...overall very solidly built. I think Iw ill go with the anschutz rail mount in the rear and simply find a slip on for the forward false muzzle piece to attach my redfield globe....somehow it just does not seem to fit to have a scope..unless I can find an old Lyman 20x LWBR from the era...or maybe a Unertl.....There was no brass wear marks on the bolt face, extractor or chamber area...and certainly no fouling in the bore...now I can still find some good old ELEY TENEX match ammo???
pics will be forth coming...serial number was in the 624XXX range... right at the start point of the other two in the serial numbre database..I suspect it wsa setup to mimick the RUnning Boar Var/Tar rifle but for the 22LR class.
Now that will be quite the pair at the range... my 222rem Var-Tar on one setup and the grand prix on another side by side to see who out shoots who!!!
again thank you all for the info...
Lars
