Yup, that's the one, have four much like that, but, two had broken stocks, almost MINT metal and so I bought them for, welllll, let's just say that I hastened to pay what the owners asked......
The factory stocks are clubs, not worth bedding, although I did my original when it cracked in the web between the trigger and mag. mortises. I did so for largely sentimental reasons and it has nice lumber, as well.
When, you put a GOOD synthetic, one that FITS YOU, on one of these and a "KickEez" pad, you might be amazed at how they shoot, all of my four and the re-blue I used to have would go under MOA, with 250s.
My nicest one, hardly used, but, typical stock crack, in it's Borden-Rimrock, will put 250 NPs at 2800 into .6" at 100M and it's matching mate, same stock, very close serial no. is almost as accurate.....they KNEW HOW to build REAL rifles back in the day.
As I said in the PMs, you got a very GOOD deal on that and shoulc get a Micky, Talleys, Brockmans, then you will get the maximum utility out of it. BTW, in wet climates, I always wrap mine with black, vinyl electric tape at season's start and take it off when finished.
Funny, tho', these are hard to sell here, many are beat and reblues and yet the newer Mod. 70s seem to attract the buyers more. I recently had my nicest pair and my really fine pair of the .375/,300 in on consignment and no one seemed really interested.....black guns, tho', here in Vancouver, seem to just fly off the shelves.......different world, from when I started.
Anyhow, best of luck and many good years with it!
