Speaking of "the only rifle he owns," Dad made it almost to 90. His only center fire rifle was an early 336 .30-30 wearing only factory sights. Dad was far sighted. He needed readers up close, but preferred irons and was as good with them as anyone I ever watched shoot. I will retract the only center fire statement. In the seventies, I bought him a 700 .22-250 topped with a 6X. He kept it for a few weeks and gave it to my nephew.
