The Bubba Bible *uhg* Take a look....

I like to hunt not waste money on plasticey push feed rifles. I also demand accuracy and reliability in my rifles hence I love sporters and they serve me well. I own one commercial big game rifle a mdl 94.

un sportorized mauser bear x4
sporterized mauser mule deer x6 (proffesional GS job)
" " Blacktail x4
Unsporterized no4 Blacktail x1
Sportorized p14 Blacktail x2 (ugly and accurate ears cut with hack saw and lots of file marks, over polished no sharp edges!)
Sportorized p17 Mule deer x1
Total bubba of a swede moose x2 (i have to stress here this is one ugly sporter, oh yeah and it is sub MOA, feeds like a dream)

My latest sporter is a mauser based 45-70. Not a bubba job but it did start as a very good condition all matching 1909 mauser with mint bore.

Cool I'll have to get this book so I can sporterize my Lee-Enfield No.4 (T)
am thinking of cutting the barrel down to 18.5" and that crappy WWII scope has got to go.

But seriously, I saw lots of bubba'd rifles at the Waverley Gun Show, there was a Swede 96 mauser there with a hideous cut down stock painted gloss brown and a williams receiver sight on it. Another was a Savage #4 with the barrel sawed of to 18.5 ", stock painted in a mossy oka pattern, receiver drilled and tapped for some kind of chinese unitized mount. Also, a P-14 with the rear sight ears looking like swiss cheese there were so many holes in them. I would use a bubba, I
've got a bubba Ross that still shoots great, I just wanted to make a project out of restoring a bubba Lithgow, which is nearing completion, or as close as that's going to come unless someone pays me to finish it. (I don't think that's going to happen).

that Boer war mauser I've got is just ACHING for a new stock and scope. Maybe a reblue, too. It's looking a little tired, like it went to war or something

You'd be the one losing a thousand bucks not me but if you want to go ahead, it's yours

Ummm.....
Frank de Haas's book "Bolt Action Rifles" is most certainly NOT a bubba-book, quite the opposite, in fact. It's a very detailed and respectful homily to 124 military bolt-action rifles.

I have that book also, and I have to agree that it ain't a bubba book.

And the sporters he does have in them are factory done-ups by folks like Parker Hale, and others, and not by some guy in his basement with a hacksaw, under a bare light bulb.

Saffos, no sense of humor or sarcasm, eh? Besides, it's already been put into a plastic stock with a 4x tasco. I figgers it should be worth at least twice as much, judging by manitoba gunshow prices for other such atrocities!

I'm just yankin your chain BTW. I love South Africans and would never butcher thier history! If I find one, it's yours After I put it in a plastic stock and mount a 4x tasco, that is
