I loved hunting with my old 71 deluxe long tang, but everytime I went out, I had a swarm of old cowboys following me around wanting to check out my old lever gun.... True chit, had one old boy stop me just to chat about my old 71. That was on a memorable elk hunt a couple years ago. Now gunner500 has the old girl. He's taking great care of her and I don't have to worry about old cowboys stopping me wanting to bs for 2 hours while I'm out elk hunting...

LOL on the singing cowboys,You bet BSA, your old rifle put the deer in the pic I sent ya down so fast I thought I had missed.
You got it going on with your '71 too Beretz, I love these rifles, can't wait to work up a load with the 250 gr Woodleighs when my Barnes bullets are used up.
