Took Even Uglier to the range yesterday, she was sporting a new Redfield Revolution 3-9X40 scope and some rings I found in a parts box. I think they may have come off Ol' Ugly. Buddy of mine was spotting for me and the first three shots I fired after sighting her in were well inside of an inch!
I let her cool off while I was shooting a purtier gun and once she cooled off the ol' girl did it again! She was shooting a load that I built up for another rifle, may just have to load up a recipe Ol' Ugly liked and see what this ol' girl can do. Even Uglier is quite likely the most accurate rifle I own, makes her a little easier to look at.
Ol' Ugly is likely to come out of retirement soon. I've decided to have her rebored to 35 Whelen and will likely fit her with a new walnut stock. All I'll need then is a Leupold scope and she'll be ready to go hunting again.
