Title: Close cousins
Post by: sparky0068 on February 18, 2013, 09:23:07 PM

Long story short: Got a rifle back from brother-in-law, now I have some close cousins!

These are the same model, different factory's.

These may look the same, but are they?

Something isn't quite the same, HMMM...

Can you spot the differences?

Interesting differences, different second band, overall length different, never mind the wood difference, one is BLO other is truoil.

Now who can name the model?
Some of you know, don't spoil it!
