story behind it was a wife bought the husband the 54 hornet last year serial and a 1st year serial 30-06 m70 together as a gift. a year later he died and they stayed in her closet until i bought them in 1990. so odds are neither were shot much. and by the sharpness of the checking, and coz on the bolt, id say never.
i shot it last in 1995 to test some 40gr and 45gr loads. it likes the 40gr best.
oh...btw, i just looked at it. its a 4x long tube scope on marbles mounts with the springy thingy.
just me but i dont see the hate of a stamped guards. it doesnt effect accuracy at all.
