Sedgley Springfield sporters at?

Rich

i recently sold mine. i'll replace it with a nicer one in the future. if it would have ben in a little bit better shape i would have kept it.
i still have a sedgley marked whelen style sling

I think they look great, too. I don't own one, but I've got the itch to build a Sedgely clone. Right after my 300 whisper, 6.5 WSM, and 30-40 Krag AI single shot projects...

Thought I would re-boot this one. I just picked up my first Sedgley and I may have a new favorite 30-06. Great old rifle, classic design and a beautiful piece of American walnut.

Working on it. Hope to have some up later today.

I used to scout around online looking for a nice one as I couldn't afford a Griffin & Howe and always thought for the money the G&Hs were overpriced and the Sedgleys were a steal...

Anyways, saw a nice one for $700 a while back that I regret picking up... I don't see them like I used to and they seem to ask more than I have these days!

Either way they are still a great value for their classic lines and caliber.

By God, now you're talkin'. Beautiful rifles.

Thank you. Just got the Sedgley out for the first time and it shoots as good as it looks. I may never be able to look at a scoped rifle again.

Cheers,

The stocks, as one would expect on these, look perfectly set for the sights.

You mentioned the stocks and I am glad that you did. I have a p64 M70 that I wanted to shoot with irons. It was virtually impossible. By the time I pressed my head down low enough to see the irons I felt so contorted and in-natural that I could not focus on the shot. Both the Sedgley and G&H come up so naturally I don't have to do anything but put the front need where I want the poi and pull the trigger. It's a beautiful thing.

Those are very nice, I love the classics with peep sights. They can be very accurate.

I have 11 rifles at this moment that have peeps on them ranging from a bolt peep on a Newton to Lyman 48-s, 57-s and Redfield 70-s.

I still hunt with them but I still pack my Winchester featherweight with a Leupold If I get really serious.

I have a couple of Williams peeps also but they are alloy and I really prefer the steel sights because of the workmanship.
