Picked it up at the FFL at 1500 and took it shooting when I got home 45 minutes later. It had apparently been safe bound for the past 40 years. I put a couple of rounds in it, set up 2 hedge apples (Osage Orange) at 30 yards, and blew the crap out each with a shot a piece. Bad picture, too much sunshine, but you get the idea. It's ready to hunt in a few weeks. Love the rifle "Dear Lord, save me from Your followers"

They are interesting and well made rifles, and a piece of history. "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

I always figured I'd go 405 Win if I bought one. They are pretty cool. A LOT of the old $hit is pretty cool, made well, and happens to work. Very nice purchase.........

The 1.75-6X has been replaced by a new 2-7X with heavy D. The Marbles ax and Marbles knife in top pic are both over 100yrs. old. The Stormy Kromer is a Michigan thing.... Old school can be cool...........
