I think mine is a 290, I sacked grocerys and saved up 54 bucks, bought it at the Goodyear tire store, I may have been 11 years old! I had been shooting a family mod 67 that was bought in the 30's, I would get a brick of yellow super X LR hollow points. my squirrel per shot went down, not because the gun was not accurate but because I knew I had so many shots in the tube, my Dad zeroed the gun and He ,My Uncle Aubrey and myself went to a half built tissue mill on the river by the farm, I watched my Dad shoot a pigeon on wing with the gun! Uncle Aubrey said good shot Adolph, my dad handed n me the gun and said son its 'ON'. I can remember it like yesterday! My Dad was a 16 ga mod 12 shotgun man, shot 2 500 round cases of shells a year at dove duck and quail, hunted every day of season but Sundays! very best winpoor
