Well I think I did very good yesterday. Found a 1960 with a hand cut checkered stock in 300 H&H here in KC. I went out on a limb and offered the gentleman my AR15 with 16 Pmags and 300 bucks and he accepted!!! Basically all tallied up, I had 1150 into the deal. Needless to say I am very very happy. I have rounded out my " battery" and filled the 30 cal hole. Early 1960 300H&H. Sights intact, Leupold mounts. It has a slightly lighter stock than my others, and an aftermarket recoil pad. Good thing is the stock was not cut, so I can buy a reproduction pad and it will be good as new. I buy em to shoot and hunt with. This gal will get used. Bolt face looks great, can't wait to shoot her. ![[Linked Image]](http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f95/hoagp/DSC_1236_zps8e8120bb.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f95/hoagp/840ac389-c339-4027-ab49-e316df7f59b7_zps4755c29c.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f95/hoagp/DSC_1240_zpsd48a67c1.jpg) And in line with all the other old ladies from left to right: 22 Hornet, 243 standard, 270 win, 300 H&H, 338 win mag, and 375H&H. ![[Linked Image]](http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f95/hoagp/DSC_1241_zpsafd6a006.jpg)

Very nice rifle. Congrats!!
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Good that you are going to hunt with the gun, it begs to be used.

Very nice addition to your very nice collection.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Very nice set!
All you need now is a FWT and a SG to round it out.
I like it here. They let me swear.
