Thanks, it's a neat old shootin iron. Nothing special. I have thought that the first owner must have been pretty happy with it as it is an early '50's gun and commercial production of sporting arms was just getting back to hit its stride after the war and the Remington 720-series guns were competition and IIRC quite a bit cheaper.

XAUSA mentioned something in another thread about the pre-war actions being slicker than the post-war jobs. This one feels about like a Krag. It wasn't used much before I got it but someone put a kickpad on it and fitted it quite well, too.

I usually epoxy bed all my used guns almost out of habit, but this one I left alone.

I've been told by collectors that one downside to these old '70's is that the parts often do not interchange well and especially bolts can be problematic so one doesn't want to break anything.

RIPP: I found a replacement for my SAKO. Shot a couple deer and 5 coyotes with it this season so it's back in operation!
