I was thinking your head might have to be more erect but I tend to crawl the stock so the scope might hit me in the eye. I might try my 24" MVA on this. I was taking the NRA shop class at Trinidad and intended to make a 38-55 so I bought the blank at their supply room taking the guys word for the claibre. Threaded it and cut the flats but not having a 38.55 reamer i sent the barrel to Shaver who called and told me it is a 40. So he chambered it in 40-82. Now finding ammo is a trick. I am using 45-90 squeezed down.
Horace- I have a roller in 40-82 I am putting together and a MVA scope that is the same length as yours. My question how do you shoot this? I see pics of the old timers laying prone with one hand behind their head. Seems auckward.
Every year there are at least 2-3 mobile homes caught on fire by propane torches somewhere in Montana. Drips and open cabinet doors are better than torching your house. I once helped a friend who lived in a mobile home crawl under and unhooked the heat duct going to one of the bedrooms and redirected it to go under the bathroom. No more problems.
When my folks bought our place the homesteaders had planted rhubarb. That was over 80 years ago. It continues to grow stalks each year without care and makes good pie and sauce.
