Well, thanks back. I know as close to nothing about photography as is possible. It is not one of my interests. If you would like more pictures of the mounts taken from different angles, let me know.
The rifle that has those mounts is a .25/20. My favorite caliber. This past Thursday I got a shot at a coyote. I had just woken up and saw three deer running down the lane. They stopped at the edge of my yard and all looked back. I saw something farther out and got up and got my monocular. Coyote! I grabbed my M1 carbine. Big mistake. In hindsight, I sure wish I had grabbed a .25/20. The deer ran on into the woods. I cracked open the window and waited as the coyote came closer. I got one clear shot at him but missed. He jumped into the grass under a row of pine trees. Missed again. I then ran to the door and out of the house and lobbed three more shots at him as he fled but had no real expectation of a hit. I blame my missing on the poor sights of the M1. Wish I had grabbed a .25/20 instead. I believe that if I had made the right choice, I would have nailed him with the first shot and have had a pelt.
