My dad just shot a huge Elk this AM with his. He called to tell me, talk about excited. I will post pics if and when I can. He was using the 250 original barnes and a Skinner peep sight, if I recall. He turns 69 in a few days, so it is a very fitting Birthday present! The biggest bull of his life.

Awesome!! That is just cool. I hope to kill an elk with mine one of these days. The 71 is a very cool retro rifle for sure..
