	I wanted a Lyman STS at least 15 power for my Martini. Found a 25 power, but it came attached to a Sako Single Shot Bolt Action, . Got my scope, now what to do with the Canoe Paddle! David

	Never know when you'll be up a creek without a ... good trading stock for real one? Just couldn't resist Greg

	Hey Greg, It has been a wet Spring so I may need a Canoe, got the Paddle! It is a .222 Rem Mag. From what I am finding out Sako made some Single Shot Actions without any Magazine Cutout. This is one, a rather odd Duck. The Dark Side is calling, just ordered some Brass. David

	You will love the 222 mag and Hornady makes brass!

	I've had that experience. Bought what a guy said was a Lo-Wall in .219 Zipper Improved because I wanted the Redfield 3200 on it for another rifle. Never really looked at the rifle. Figured I'd part it out because no one in his right mind would chamber a Lo-Wall for that cartridge. Got it home and took a good look at it. it wasn't a Lo-Wall, it was a Hi-Wall and an older one at that (serial number in the 27xx range). Barrel is stamped J.W. Van Patten. Shoots fairly consistent 1/2 inch groups off a bench if I do what I'm supposed to do. Had to find another scope for the rifle I had intended to put the Redfield on. Such is life.

	Once you have determined if it has accuracy potential, and all that I have had were extremely accurate, you might consider Norma 204 Ruger brass and just run a tapered expander through the neck and you will have very good, long life brass.

	J.W. Van Patten was a gunsmith up in New Milford or Milford Pennsylvania who specialized in reboring barrels. Long gone now. Saw a few of his rebores in a gun shop on Long Island NY. Looked better than a lot of factory production barrels. Frank

	Got the Scope on the Martini and ran a few rounds through the rifle yesterday. Blocks are 13" on center. The Rifle shows potential! Now to find a Scope for the Canoe Paddle! David
