That rifle conjures up visions of a hunter wearing jodhpurs tucked into lace-up high boots, wool shirt, fedora, and spare cartridges in a leather waist belt- staring wistfully out over a mountain panorama.

Extremely cool, nice looking little slice of history there.
Knowing next to nothing (other than pics of Teddy slinging one) i googled for a minute and saw that they REALLY arent just giving those things away anymore, huh?
Nice guns thanks for posting.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

Yes, I got to take that gun out and shoot it hot until the oil was smoking on the forearm. I am surprised it survived the day of abuse I gave it...
