Embracing my Fudd Heritage

Here's a little contest to see who has the FUDD in a bad way.

What is this little item that no FUDD should/could be without?

And here I thought I was a Fudd. I guess you have me out Fudded SC. :D
 
Nice gun.
Looks like my old 742 ADL also in "ought six".
A few moose and deer fell to that 742 back in the 70s and 80s.

I dumped my semis; the last 3 being the 742, a BAR and a Win model 100.
They were dust collectors for years and I never hunted them so I turned them into cash.

The 100 was by far the best looking of the three.
For shooting the Rem was better than the 100 and not as good as the BAR.
 
That tool made from the washer would work well for tightening the thumb screws on Weaver Quick Detachable mounts, but real Fudds don't have much to do with scopes and mounts.
 
Sorry Lookie, but I didn't see your reply when I answered.
When he replied that a couple got it right, I started looking for the other one.
 
You must be an engineer......reeeeeeeeal fudds use a quarter.

I never thought of modifying a washer, I shaped a large screw driver head speacially for Weaver Ring screws. It put them on there so tight you never worried about them coming loose. I had a Weaver 2.5 x 7 wide view with Weaver rings and bases on my old M-70 push feed. The whole set up served me well for over 30 yrs. of moose hunting. The scope never moved a hair in all those years.
 
Gotta couple of right answers on that. I've been using that thing for almost 20yrs now. True FUDDism at it's best.

Bullsh*t. A true Fudd rifle will have see-thru rings. They represent the seventh ring of Fuddism. Clearly you're not there yet.

True - how else can you get that great chin-weld for the scope, and still have access to the iron sights so that you can accurately shoot at that sound behind you?

I've seen Fudds who just warp their snot rag around that serrated nut to tighten it after their yearly one shot zero.

I my experience, the "one shot zero", occurs on opening morning, at a "big" doe... which then requires a trip to the gravel pit at lunch, to see why the rifle is "off."

I like the washer as you can carry it in you pocket. I took it washer out west on a fly-in Yukon hunt in 1998. Thought it would work well in I needed to swap out to a spare scope w/o having to carry extra weight.

That scope is on my BRNO 12/7x57R. The comb is quite low so O/U rings are a no go on this rifle.

I do have a nice set of Weaver tip over mounts for a 760 though.

The correct technical term is "meat doe", but yea that's closer to the truth.



On another note - the Fudd's all had their technical sources, and this was mine. I memorized this book as a kid in the 1960's.

I always wondered why that Fudd was shooting at that big tree..........
