Think I'm going with this...

[Vernon in Virginia~Formerly Alaska]

[size=large] A custom 1917 Enfield Mauser converted to a 270. Going to pick it up in a day or two. Need a good deer rifle.

Anyone have a quality variable scope with at least a 44 to 50mm front lens for sale?[/size]

are you the only one gonna be shooting this rifle, or will some of your daughters maybe be shooting it also, just curious. As for the variable scope, you might want to check out the Mueller line of scopes, some good choices there, and won't cost a leg like some of the better known brands. Again, just a few thoughts. vic

[size=large]They had been using factory "light' loads with the 30 06. The 270 has a relatively mild recoil for a high powered rifle and should be equivalent to the light loads they are use too... plus you never notice recoil when hunting anyway. Below is a couple photos of Leanna (16) getting her familiarization with a pump shotgun the other day. I had her put my vest on because she had bear arms. They all like to shoot and Lee is the best shot of the girls.. and pushing me. She shot a perfect score at an indoor shooting match with a 22 rifle when she was 8 or 9. If one of the girls had to shoot an apple of my head, I'd hand the gun to Lee.

Will check out the scope ~Thanks[/size]

to see you bringing your daughters outdoors and hunting and fishing with them. My mom brought me hunting and fishing all the time when I was a kid. Well hunting all the time she taught my sister and I how to fish then let us go. My dad wasn't around much so she did her part to help me learn about Earth and all its wonders. She couldn't afford a babysitter so I was out in the stand at 5 years old trying not to move or talk much. Those times out in the stand or fishing in the lake shaped me and I can pass it on to students in Earth Science class. I learned more about biology while gutting a deer and asking qurestions then I ever learned in college.
At a time in my mom's life she was told by my dad that women don't hunt. I am glad she never believed that and when she left him she started hunting again.
Thanks Vernon
