I recently aquired this neat little rifle. The rifle was built by "C.R. Hiatt. Albuquerque NM". It was built on a Mexican Mauser action, chambered in .300 Savage and wears a vintage Zeiss scope with post/cross-hair reticle. I would like to learn more about this gunsmith.

This rifle would be a great rifle for a young hunter and needs to get back into the field and be used.
