I had one in the early 80s. nice stock and pretty handy rifle for just about everything a college kid could hunt. I ended up selling it to a buddy and regretted it ever since. I've looked at the new ones over the years and they just weren't the same. I lucked into a 1974 model with a walnut cut checkered stock and no barrel band on the LGS rack a couple weeks ago. For $225 out the door I think I did ok. No plastic on this one. Now to get the trigger "worked".
