My first was a Interarms mark x made by EMDEKO in 30/06. These mausers wore p.o.ackley marked bbls and mine had a EMDEKO 3x9 scope. I've heard the plain walnut monte carlo stocks on these were made by bishop. I had hopes of a 7mm rem mag after reading numerous outdoor life stories of elk and mule deer hunts, and looking at remington ballistics charts. The summer of my 11th yr my dad called home, and told my mom to bring me to the gun store.
Imagine my excitment when we walked up to the counter and there lay a mint used 700 adl in 7mag. Beside it laid the reason he called ... a new h&r 20ga single bbl for me. The mint adl with a price tag of $ 170.00 was his. The '06 was a hand me down from him to me. I never liked the '06 from that day on. I traded it for a 68 chevelle when i was 17 yrs old. My dad passed when i was 13, and i carried the 7mag for 35 ys after that.
