My favorite bubba is built on an Indian Enfield no.1 mk.3.
Believe it or not this thing is bang on accurate at 100 yards with the iron sites! I will bring it to the Fl. shoot.
Origonally it started life like this. (not my actual rifle pic.)

The Gibbs rifle company took these rifles and made them into this:

The one I have looked like this when I got it - still with compass, fishing line and matches in the buttstock.

Seeing it was already Bubba'd beyond reair I bleached the wood to get a uniform color then added the faux tiger stripes, (the furniture was terribly mismatched because of the different woods used)
, I put a comfortable sling on it for 'Hog days" it is a bit hefty after a while :)
