Shooting the original stock off a bench isn’t the most comfortable setup versus my full length Enfields. It had already been mucked with so I can’t put a rear iron sight back on.
It’s all reversible and a little more elegant than something TrenchRat guy would do.

That’s a great heirloom. My late father was a hunter so I inherited a rarely shot Ruger M77 300winmag and Remington 870. He also served with the UN in the mid 1960s but I can’t obtain the rifles he would have used there.

This No5 was a cheapie from GunPost that has had some serious fuckery over the years. I pulled the forend and there’s some interesting bedding that was done.
