My dad just gave me his early, first year production, model 71 deluxe long tang with bolt peep and sling swivels. Said it was my turn! I've been reading the posts here about the rifle and cartridge and am really looking forward to using it. As soon as I figure out how to post pics, I'll get some up. I have brass, dies, powder, bullets... all I need is something in front of me. Also looking forward to sharing, and reading, Model 71 stories. Take care, Dean.
