I had a straight handled Swede Mauser bolt reworked to clear a scope, the barrel rechambered for 6.5mm/.308 (now 260 Rem.) and a Weaver K4 in Leupold rings put on and the safety changed to clear the scope. It didn't shoot one iota better for me so I took off the scope and put on a Williams Foolproof sight. All that was over 45 years ago and that little rifle still shoots as well as it ever did. As luck sometimes has it, my wildcat chambering functions very well with .260 Rem Factory ammo and reloads made from the empties with only neck sizing.<br /><br />Gerry NGerry N.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-16291449076174669612013-07-16T07:55:06.005-05:002013-07-16T07:55:06.005-05:00I have used neoprene comb raising kits on straight...I have used neoprene comb raising kits on straight stocked rifles with scopes for over 20 years.
