Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Old and new.

Old 1934 vintage Unertl in it's original browned finish. On top of my newer Cody Ballard Schoyen model .22LR. I think they go well together, and the 6x Unertl will work OK for casual shooting.

I must say that rifle is sure appealing- made moreso by that nice hunk o' wood on the tail end, with it's flowing grain and beautiful color. Couldn't make a better landing spot for the scope than that.  Merry Christmas. Pat

Thanks Pat! Had the scope forever, but the Ballard is a recent purchase. They did use a nice piece of lumber on it!

Looks like you found the correct accessory for your cool old scope; very nice rifle.

Thanks Patriot! My first "clone". I've been stuck on old original Ballards, and honestly never looked at the Cody Ballards before. Never realized what I was missing.

It's an MVA silhouette soule type, with Hadley disc. Front is a Baldwin globe.

That's a special one, have fun with it Val. Who is the barrel maker and what length?

Thanks John! It's a long 30" Badger barrel. Full round, and extra heavy weight. I may need to hit the gym before shooting much offhand with it! Very heavy gun at around 12 lbs.
