The strange Tula
I definitely like it. I had this old 4X40 Tasco laying around and that's all it needs for these whitetails around here. The scope is in your vision when you raise the gun. I Sighted in with 7.62 NATO. It was shooting .308 Win. high and right . The barrel has both calibers printed on it. The stock is I'm guessing Arctic birch ? It feels very solid/strong but the checkering is sort of like somebodys 1st attempt . It'll look better in a hundred years or so. What type do you call that bolt ???

Pretty cool gun. What is it? Scope offset reminds me of scoped Swiss guns...

The best I can tell, it's a Tula T 03. Made in Tula Russia.

The bolt handle looks like a Mannlicher–Schönauer spoon handle bolt. How does that thing shoot? I really like it. I like odd rifles like this.steelbuttplate wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:37 pm I definitely like it. I had this old 4X40 Tasco laying around and that's all it needs for these whitetails around here.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Re: The strange Tula
Shooting across the truck hood, 85 yd. with a 4 power I shot a 3 inch group. I'll get some targets pics when I get to a bench rest with it.

Update on this Russian boar. It's says either/ or on the rifle, but shooting .308 Win thru it, it will put two rounds close together, then throw one high and right 4-5 inches. 
Is the .308 the slightly smaller case of the two ? If so could it be letting gas back around the case neck and fluctuating the pressure enough to do that. IN a 7.62x 51 case with Sierra mactch king 168 gr. it will group 3 in one inch. I've upgraded to a Weaver 3x9. Ive shot two deer with it, and 100 rounds or so at the range. It's still stiff but breaking in, it's a very strong bolt action and the rifling in the bore is righteous.
