Will do BSA. By the way, you are right on the "Gopher Special" history. A true "GS" is hard to come by, should have the plastic buttplate and only came in .243,.270Win. and 30-06.

The one I will take was purchased by a deceased friends father in 1960 or so directly from Gopher Shooters Supply in southern Minnesota. He worked there a bit as a beginner gunsmith. The rifle was hunted for about 20-25 in the Kaycee/Buffalo Wyoming area for mulies and pronghorn.
Unfortunately the family couldn't find any hunting photos or if he even took any. No luck on finding the receipt for the rifle either.





My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.
