Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

I don't think that it was all of them, but some of the Ross rifles could be reassembled incorrectly and the bolt could not latch correctly when fired with very bad effect on the shooter. Make sure you look into that, I think there is plenty of literature on the issue. I think the Ross is a neat piece and would love to have one. I like the odd ones. I have a 1881 Swiss Vetterli 10.4x38 (41 Swiss) that I converted to centerfire and make cases from .348 Win. I'm in process of making a mount for a Fecker 6x long tube scope to fit to it and wring the most out if it. I've used a 280 Remington for 30+ years with great results. But as was mentioned, none of these new cartridges due much that the 100+ year old versions can't do, except may sell more guns and ammo to guys that probably don't "need" another one. But we never let that stop us, do we.
