    Got it from Blunderbuss in Alberton. A gun that was purchased by somebody else, end he could not get a license... they seem to have had it in their possesion since 2013... so I think they were looking to get it sold...

    Thanks

    Which scope did you get.
    Any recommendations on sling and rifle bag?

    Hi James, Got a Leopold VX-1 4-12x40 scope on Thor mounts

    As for the sling, I opted for a more modern sling to fit the stainless and pepper laminated butt, so I took a black nylon/rubber sling. I also got a 'generic' 50" rifle bag with double padding.

    I have been thinking of also taking up long range shooting.
    I suppose this would alter my scope choice. Would it be possible to have 1 scope for long range competitions and for hunting?

    What scope?
    I am looking for best value for money.

    I can vouch for Hogue stocks being good for recoil, I have one on my 416 Ruger : 245gr at 2800 fps from the bench, which is just past the limit of a 338WM.

    Hi
    I know this is an old thread, but did you have any problems with the Thor mounts and eye relief?

    I ended up with a Rudolf scope ( 4 - 16 x 40) and Thor mounts, but can't seem to move the scope back far enough at high magnification for proper eye relief
