Marrakai,

Thanks for the acknowledgement of my age.

Fortunately, my eyes aren't that bad yet.

Just a lousy camera - I should have a new one soon with zoom and shall post a better picture. The floorplate looks like it was taken from some other rifle - Argentine? - with the tab in the trigger guard. That's what I wanted to show.

John,

Thanks for the good words, I am really happy with Brian's price and the gun itself. I am hoping to hunt some feral goats on a private property that is owned by a friend of mine in Texas. I'm not sure when I'll be able to do it though the winter would be a good time to get away from the Chicago cold.

Dan,

Thank you for the wishes.

Asif,

Yes, this is the one. Mark would be handloading some ammunition for me - the rifle is very light and should kick a bit with the heavier bullets from what Mark says. Hopefully, I'll start handloading soon myself for both my rifles.

Thank you, gentlemen, and very good hunting!
