Mine was an O3 Springfield custom everything, stock, barrel, bottom metal, trigger, D&T'd for scope and reciever sight. I used 250gr Hornady RN's and 4350 for big game and 148gr cast double ended wadcutters over 700X and a pinch of dacron filler for squirrels and rabbits. Shot it on small game and vermin all year it was a great gun. Someone offerred an outragous amount of money for it in 1980 and it went down the road. Replaced it with a Rem 721 in 35 Whelen (still have it) and never looked back. Load it it with the same bullets and it works just as well.
