Just wondering if any factory produced sporting rifles were ever made in 6.5x52 carcano. Just curious

a pic of the last spring bear I got. rem 760 35 whelen

WOW what a difference- bore sighted it then went to the range, fired a few rounds to get it zero'd in. Then shot a 5 shot group at 1 1/4 inches. I should have stopped with the first 3 shots because it was 3/4 of an inch group. All the frustration faded away maybe this will be the yr I draw an...

I have 2 hornets a contender carbine 21" and a HR 157. Biggest critter I have killed with the hornet is a Big blacktail doe. My favorite hornet bullet is the now discontinued 45 grn nosler- got 4 boxes left.

I have taken 2 nice bears with my whelen and helped put another down. I use 250 grn partitions

Well who is spring bear hunting this year? What gun ammo combo are you going with? Its been 4 yrs since I shot a bear so I have forgotten what a pain it is to deal with them. I will be hunting the same area that I shot my last spring bear. I plan to use my guide gun that hasn't killed anything...

I did call Leupold and they said it was rare to happen, but would be sending me a shim for free. Can't beat there service thats for sure.

found this on the leupold frequently asked questions(#4) Elevation issues can be resolved by shimming. If more up adjustment is required, the rear of the base needs to be shimmed between the receiver and the base. If you need more down adjustment, the front base needs to be shimmed. In making...

it is a 2 piece base. I like the dual dovetail bases, have the one piece version on all three on my contender barrels-22hornet, 3030, 45-70. I have the reg leupold 2 piece bases on my rem 760 35 whelen. Only the 700 has ever given me fits. It is the right base for the rear mount for those...

Yep a wra- 1944, SA-1945, HRA-1953, and a IHC-1954, the are fun to shoot but I really like shooting the '44 m1 inland carbine better- just a fun lil gun.

I love my marlin 1895 guide gun. if you can find one with JM stamped on the barrel-thats the marlin made ones before remington took over and had problems. I put a 1.5-5 power leupold on it-just looks right with the small scope, and it is a shooter. The JM's seem to have a better trigger pull...

20 yrds spike elk, 35 yrds spike elk, 19 paces blackbear and 20 yards blackbear,-al 35 whelen. several blacktail deer between 20 and 40 yards- 35 whelen, 30-30, 6.5x52 carcano. a big doe at 15 yrds w a 22 hornet. My furthest kill was 85 yards with a muzzleloader 50 cal - nice blacktailbuck

I emailed Leupold and will call on monday. Thanks

What should I use for a shim?

Thanks guys- I knew someone would know- I love this forum- No BS straight honest answers.

So the gun is a rem 700 SE CDL in 264 wm. Leupold dual dovetail base and rings. I had a leupold vx2 4-12 #4 reticle and found I had to have the scope adjustments cranked all the way up just to almost shoot to point of aim at 100yrds. Thinking there I might be something wrong with the scope I...

You just need some woolly mammoths now- until then watch out groundsquirrels 3 miles away

So I'm thinking of a 6.5 carbine barrel for my contender(original style not encore) I was thinking a 7-30 waters necked down or maybe a 6.5 carcano. I already have everything for carcano. the 6.5-30 I was thinking brass would be easy enough to size down. Or am I wasting time and should use the...

I have the same rifle 700 cdl special edition in 264wm, I put a HS precision stock on mine- because the barrel channel was not cut right if u touched the barrel it would move to the side, also the black plastic nose cap was started to get scraped up for hunting and green plastic was showing...

ruger should chamber a rifle for 35 Newton-since they already are making the 375ruger(ruger) I think a 35 newton would sell better than a 375-just my 2 cents
