As I'm not getting any younger and as I exemplify the old adage that it's not easy to teach an old dog new tricks, I recently decided to buy myself a rifle which would be scope only and to learn to use glass sights in preparation for the years to come. I bought this rifle from Brian Perazone, a New York gunsmith and member here and a fine gentleman. It will wear either a Leupold or a Kahles 2-7x scope. It is a very light rifle and the wood, in particular is very nice for the extreme budget price that I got it for.
