@@HEYBERT1984 Accurate as I can be. I can get silver dollar 3 shot groups at 100 yards. But it’s limited to my not very good skills. I have shaky hands. So it’s as good as it’s gonna get with me pulling the trigger. Unless I find a gun vise bench rest set up but I don’t have one of those.

@@fungdart thx 🍻

I bought it specifically to be a scope only rifle. Basically for looks. I have a ton of other rifles with iron sights but this one I wanted the sleek look of a scope only rifle.

My vanity comes a calling

Yes it’s worth it. This is waaayyy better built than any American knife in the same price range. It is a well built beast. The steel is superb. I love the knife. And the sheath. And I love the service and communication I received from Kukri House.

I bought a Case XX Bowie and hated the handle because I have smaller hands. KHHI custom made my handle based on my measurements. I went back and forth with them about the dimensions of the handle. They sent me pictures and everything to make sure it was right. They nailed it. And no I don’t get any kick back from them. I just love this knife.

It all depends on your hand size. The Power Hammer is famous for having a huge handle if you order it stock. But they will make it smaller if you give them the dimensions. But if you don’t, it comes with a massive handle just likethe Case XX.

I love the "used" look to a rifle

They are the Winchester 63200 gloss medium height integrated one piece scope mounts made by Talley but if you want gloss you have to get the Winchester ones.

Then skip it

I don’t have a third hand

It’s made by Montgomery Wards. It’s a 1980’s 50 watt Charmglow Model No. KCB 2157. I’ve never seen another one like it.

But Steeeeve come on.

They are the Winchester 63200 mounts. The one piece integrated ones. They are made by Talley but I didn't know that till I opened them. Strangely enough buying the Winchester mounts is the only way to get them in gloss. Talley makes gloss ones just for Winchester. You can't buy them directly from Talley. Only matte. They are intermediate height. I'm very happy with them and the rifle. This purchase was 20 years in the making. That's how long it took me to decided which rifle will be the last one I ever buy. But I've said that before. Hah.

I got them from Midwestgunworks.com they have them in high, medium and low height in matte and gloss. Mine are the Winchester 63200 medium gloss. Costs about $50 and the package says Winchester but they are made by Talley and the only way to get the gloss is to get the ones that say Winchester on the package. You can’t even buy gloss from Talley. Talley makes them specifically for Winchester for the Model 70. They are a rock solid scope mount. It took me weeks of searching for those gloss mounts to match my gloss rifle and gloss Leupold scope. That scope is a Leupold Century Limited Edition made only in 2007 for their 100 year anniversary. They still show up on eBay once in awhile. I paid $500 for my scope in 2021 it was brand new. Last I looked that scope new was going for $800 and up because Leupold hasn’t made gloss since then I believe. Which is sad. I grew up in the time of high gloss everything. Matte wasn’t even a thing yet. I think they are making a big mistake by not selling gloss. A lot of people still want gloss.

@@fungdartThanks for taking the time to share the details. Your set up looks fantastic and I am hoping to achieve a similar look. I fussed over which super grade to buy, maple makes for great contrast. However, the only super grade available in my area was the walnut. Still a great looking traditional (old school) rifle that will become a family heirloom.

I’m real careful with it. Deer season just opened last Saturday here and this is the 3rd season I’ve used it. So far no major scratches. But I know that day will come.

Maple is an incredibly strong wood, more so than walnut. You would have to try and deliberately scratch it in order to do so. Under normal hunting environments you should be ok, so long the rifle is not being dragged around.

Why its a rifle, its meant to be scratched.

It’s indestructible. Used it to cut a lot of kindling last fall during hunting season in camp. It didn’t leave a mark on it and I was cutting branches 2” thick. Still looks like the day I bought it. I really like this knife.

And all my hunting buddies were jealous too

@@fungdart appreciate the reply. I’ll definitely be adding one to my collection now.

@@StoryBoyXIII it’s called a power hammer because the butt end of the handle is thick and welded to the blade as is the guard. One thick continuous piece of steel. Just to test it out I pounded a few 16 penny green vinyl coated sinkers into a 4x4. It worked almost as good as my 21 oz framing hammer. Except the knife doesn’t have a waffle face like my framer. But I drove 4 or 5 16 penny nails into a Doug fir 4x4 with ease and it didn’t leave a mark on the butt of that handle. These guys in Nepal know what they are doing. I imagine if this knife were made in the USA it would cost $400 or more. I paid $165 about with a custom handle for my smaller hands at no extra cost.

@@StoryBoyXIII By the way. This knife is notorious for having a massively huge handle. I have medium sized hands. I had them make the handle thinner and 1/2 inch shorter to accommodate my smaller hands. And it is still almost too big so depending on the size of your hands, consider requesting a smaller and shorter handle. They measure the handle by the length of the wood, not the overall length of the handle. The biggest complaint about the Power Hammer is how massive the handle is. Unless you have gorilla sized hands, you will want to request a smaller handle.

Thank you. I do love it. I was on the fence about getting the maple. I’ve always loved walnut in fact I grew up in a walnut orchard. But in spring 2021 there were no .270 Super Grades available anywhere and deer season was fast approaching. Then the first Super Grades that Winchester started producing after this shortage were the 2021 Shot Show specials which is what mine is. I jumped on the first .270 Super Grade I could find. And let me tell you I’m not disappointed. I love it. And the scope too.

@@fungdart No doubt… just terrific Acquired my 3 in last 2 years….. have Maple 264 Win Mag, French Walnut 6.5 PRC and 243 French. The 243 French is really blonde, the 6.5 very dark. Nice differentiation

@@shannonbutler6402 .243 is all my Dad and little brother have ever hunted with. In fact almost all of my buddies I hunt with here in California only use .243 win. I’m the oddball for using .270 and one other buddy uses an .30-06 Blacktail are small here. A 120lb buck is considered large so .243 gets the job done. I like the .270 because I can reach out much further. This is only my 2nd scoped hunting rifle I’ve had in my life. Both .270 win since I was 16 years old. With a 19 year break from hunting in there. I went from 2002 to 2021 without ever going hunting. My little brother passed in 2019 and I started hunting again with the same guys I hunted with as a teenager. We all agreed to start hunting again together in my little brother’s memory. It’s wonderful to hunt again. Don’t know why I ever stopped. I guess life got in the way.

Just received my Banish 30 Suppressor… can’t wait to bolt it on and shoot my Supers!

I love it.

The base Leupold platform for this scope is either a VX-1 or VX-2 depending on what you read. Not sure because I never called Leupold to ask. But to me it doesn’t matter. It’s a Leupold. All that I cared about is that it was a high gloss scope to match my rifle. Plus I love the Long Range duplex reticle crosshairs. I have it zeroed for 200 yards and with my .270 win I can supposedly get out to 500 yards reliably. But I haven’t tried it past 200 yet. Honestly I haven’t shot it since last deer season here in CA but that’s because I’m not happy with this Nosler lead free expansion tip ammo and haven’t been able to locate any TTSX locally since I have to pass a background check to buy ammo in CA and no online sellers will even sell to CA because it’s not worth the trouble. One of these days I will be able to afford to take it out and find out what it really can do. But I’m still poor after buying this rifle and scope. Lol

Hah yep I have realized that now. But I’ve been mispronouncing it so long I guess I’m just stuck on Leo-Pold.

Thank you for the info I really appreciate it. My wife’s grandfather installed this in the 80s and he owned several gas stations here in Northern California dating back to 1951. We also have a pre-World War II globe hydraulic car lift in front of the garage that he got somewhere and installed in the 80’s. I just fired the heater up for the first time this year a week ago because I was just now able to buy diesel for it. I will do some of these things to try to clean it up and get it to burn better. When I opened the lid on it for the first timer a week or two ago, it was filled with acorns from the wood Peckers dropping them down the chimney, maybe I’ll post another video showing a little more of it but this year it fired right up and it hadn’t burned in nine months and burns great like usual. It is set up to run on diesel because he also owned a fuel trucking company and a bulk fuel storage depot and so for decades he got free diesel so that’s how he set it up. We don’t get free diesel anymore we have to buy it just like everybody else because when he retired he sold everything when they retired in 2003. He passed away in 2011 at 86 years old.

I knew this thing was pretty old. And I have always been a fan of Coleman, having several vintage Coleman lanterns and white gas stoves that my Dad bought in the 60’s that all still function perfectly. So there is no way I will part with this thing. Especially since it was installed by my Woman’s Grandpa. We both have a sentimental attachment in a big way to things belonging to our Grandparents. We moved in here 6 years ago onto this property to take care of her Grandmother, who is still alive at 92, to take care of her because she has dementia and they have tons and tons of old cool antique things such as gas pumps and other equipment, such as the stove and the car lift, and they all still work, and we would never part with those things. Especially since we live in this hell hole called California which is banning anything petroleum related. In 2 years gas powered equipment like chainsaws and lawnmowers will be illegal. But after Grandma passes we are leaving this God forsaken state as fast as we can. We are ready to throw a dart at a map and go before they throw me in prison for driving on bald tires. I plan on taking this heater with us when we leave.

​@@fungdart Vote like your freedom depends upon it, because it does.

Hello, I have the exact same stove, a guy gave it to me and I am installing it in a 16x20 cabin with a 16' ceiling. I'm not sure if it will even work, but tore it all apart and cleaned it up. Installing it hopefully this coming weekend... Nice video, thanks

​@@joedirt9600how did you make out? I'm pretty much in your shoes 6 months ago lol.

I've got a 4" 28-2 also

Thank you. I love this rifle. I’m still getting it dialed in. It’s already dialed in real good but I can almost drive nails with it now but I know I can get it better once I find a better bench rest set up or vice to lock it into. I’m getting shaky the older I get.

I don’t have a way to pump air in. Plus I haven’t fired this thing up in almost a year because our furnace and hot water heater run off diesel and I use every drop to heat the house now. Because in this God Forsaken State called California red died diesel is now $6 a gallon. So the garage is ice cold. In have to heat the family first. But if the price ever drops before I bail out of CA I will try pumping air into it to get it going faster. I love this old heater and for years I had a 150 gallon tank to feed it but things have changed. Now I can barely afford to heat my house. My family owned a fuel trucking company and. 36,000 gallon bulk fuel plant and 3 gas stations up till about 2003. But the days of free diesel are long gone.

I love that he put his name on it. He told me when he gave it to me that he bought it used from a friend for $100 in either ‘60 or ‘61. He joined the reserve sheriff’s posse in Columbia County Oregon and was required to get a pistol to carry. When he died he had dozens and dozens of long guns from muskets to M1 Garands. This was the only hand gun he owned. My uncles got all of his guns and were really pissed back then that I ended up with it. It was the gun they really wanted. They are over it now though.

Yep it does. Like burning hair and flesh. I have it on right now as I type sitting on the porch. I thought about taking the cage off but I would have to cut the rods. Plus my grandpa bought this thing in the 80’s and I don’t want to mess it up. Ideally I would like to kill less moths and just mosquitoes. If I took the cage off moths the size of humming birds would be able to fit in it.

I have a part two video showing how I did sighting it in. It still needs dialed in more. I haven’t shot it in six months because I can’t find any other ammo besides Nosler locally. I can’t get leaded bullets anymore only lead free in California. I want to get some Barnes TTSX but can’t find it. And no more online ammo sales in California. One of the many reasons I’m leaving this godforsaken state.
