[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1335246"] Well rifle arrived today! You can tell that they do military rifles in the same factory...I encountered the scourge of all surplus gun owners...Cosmoline... the slug that popped out on the end of the cleaning jag was 1 inch long :eek: will probably do a review sooner or late, but it is a working mans rifle, some machining marks here and there and needs a little bit of working to get it to cycle smoothly, but that can be the case with any rifle. Trigger pull was light and crisp with no take up and maybe a little bit of gritty (haven't cleaned it yet) barrel is 21.5 inches with a flip up rear sight going, to see if NECG has a decent express sight and is middle weight with the Bavarian style Hog Back stock, might strip the finish and use linseed oil to bring out the grain. Talked to New England Custom Gun and they indicated my mount shouldn't have any issued with the recoil of the .375 H&H and for now an old Bushnell 2.5X or Weaver 3X will do for orientation and breaking it in, then will get some new screws for the rings, figures that 1 screw head just has to strip as I was torquing them down, but it's in there now. So now need to research rifle scopes and find time to get out to the range, might just decide to go with a buddy for moose this year...Alder thickets anyone? [/QUOTE]
