[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 730598, member: 5412"] I was at a farm auction when they pulled this rifle up for sale. Not many bids on it so I picked it up for less than $100. Talked to the owner. He said he brought it back from WWII. Its a Japenese Arisaka action that has been rebarreled to a .300 savage. He had a bishop stock hand engraved and put on the rifle. He said it didn't shoot well. I had noticed that the barrel was pretty short. When I looked at the end of the barrel, I could see why it wouldn't shoot. It had been shortned with a hacksaw and squared with a file. Got it to a gunsmith that put a target crown on it. We took it out to the range, and even with that old fixed 4 power weaver, it still shot a 1 1/2" group. Some new glass would shrink that group. I may have to use it on a deer this fall:D [attach=full]67188[/attach] [attach=full]67189[/attach] [attach=full]67190[/attach] [attach=full]67191[/attach] [/QUOTE]
