I have had an Ithaca LSA65 since 1976 or 77 in 30-06. It is NOT the deluxe. That rifle has shot everything from grouse to moose and bear. It has slung bullets from 125 grains to 220 grains, but it thrives on 165s. My wife claimed it, and I shortened the stock and put on a good Pacmayr pad for her, and now it shoots 150 TSX's pushed by a low charge of H4895. Killed her a deer and a bull moose with it. I bought its twin brother a Tikka M65 in 30-06 a few years ago. Nothing to look at really, but it shoots lights out.
Yours looks real purty.
