I have one I bought in 64 or so. Carried in a scabbard a lot, Refinised the stock twice now.I accurized it myself and it will stil shoot 3/4 " even with the bad trigger.It's getting pretty loose in the action now and has a tendancy for the lever to fall down. I shot a lot of deer and quite afew elk with it until about 1970

If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
