    I bought this one in 1971 and sold it a while back as pictured for $600.00 - I think the scope is worth about that now!!!!

    I'll second this - Big Jim Fish does some pretty in depth reviews and always seems to offer an unbiased opinion.

    I have this one on a Vudoo and am very happy with it:

    Couldn't agree more!
    IME, a B14R build done right would have the potential to run with any Vudoo. I've already told Beetroot that if I decided to build any more rim fires, it would be a B14R with a...

    Here's a few image links which may interest Beetroot - Up-graded LA101's, 1761's & Tikka:

    Some of us build things just to see what can be achieved regardless of cost! I've been buying new Anschutz rifles since 1965. As much as I love them, a lot of new (and less expensive) actions have...

    Jason Lowe (Lowey Products here in Aus) has built two really nice BR rifles using the LA101 & 1761 actions. There are now several trigger options available for the 1761 and he overcame the Lithgow...

    I've already exchanged a few comments with "Beetroot" re the options available to him.

    Yes, 22LR. That's a Vudoo 360 which shares the Remington 700 short action footprint - Similiar to Vudoo V22, Bergara B14R, Rim X etc. Mags for all of them differ slightly but are AICS design.
