Well I mounted some glass on my new rifle this morning. All I need is a couple dry days so I can make it out to the range. Winchester 1885 falling block high wall in 6.5 CM.

That's the rare upside-down model. LOL
Nice rig!

Sorry about the photo guys, I used to post many many wildlife photos on this site but since the photo loading process changed I can't post any high resolution pics anymore!

Thanks for the kind words guys as well as the help with the photo. With the heavy octagon bbl it should be a shooter!

can you get a full field of view at the highest magnification setting on your scope mounted that far forward? I always have to set mine further back.

beautiful rig, cant wait to see it shoot.

I've got a big mellon and it works for me! Most folks rifles are scoped without enough eye relief for me. confused2
