Just checking, anybody else here ever think of their cast bullet rifles as a last ditch end of the world as we know it sniper rifle? Just curious. The one I'm working on is based on a Ishapore 7.62. Got a great idea here for a scope base made from angle iron, how cheap is that? I don't want to start a scope blog, but I plan to put a cheap scope on it. CHEAP is the theme. If I can bring myself to chop up one of my Mausers I'd like to find a 7.62 barrel, Cheap. Am I a nut? Or at least am I the only nut?
