As some of you are aware, age and infirmity have led me to pass on some of my lifetime accumulation of rifles, handguns and shotguns to others who I hope will appreciate them as much as I. One recent recipient of such a rifle, a .30-'06 Winchester Model 70 of 1930's vintage, equipped with a contemporary Lyman Alaskan All Weather scope, sent me this photograph of the results of his first hunt with the rifle.
If other recipients would do the same I would be greatly pleased.
At first I thought that was the rifle I traded to you in July, 1979. But that rifle was a pre-war M70 in .300 H&H, not 30-06. In the trade, you got my rifle, sans Lyman Alaskan scope, in exchange for a M70 super grade in .300 H&H, and some baksheesh.
By the way, do you still have that particular rifle? (I can PM the S/N to you) If so, would it be for sale?
