I hunted the Palouse for a few years in early '80s, loved chasing Huns "chinks" chukar and quail, did some goose stalking too in the winter wheat... I finally got some time to mess around with the model 20 today, it was dirty but cleaned up, bore is VVG.

some surface freckling over all exterior, but I can't wait to shoot it, as mentioned it is a "barrel fixed to receiver" design, but the boresnake really made it shine.
