Well DS I am talking old rimfires like th 1906 Winchester,M341 Remington Scoremaster, M55 Win semi auto single shot, M9422, Browning BLR etc....
Well I do have a rimfire with an aluminum receiver, a Glenfield 60 with the birchwood squirrel stock, and a Ruger Mark II Target with plastic grips, and a Taurus 94 stainless with rubber grips. But my two main rifles, a Marlin 39M and a Marlin 883 are blued steel and walnut.
I let my oldie, a Remington 121, get away a few years ago. That was a great one, with a 25" lightweight barrel, handled like a wand and was an ideal open sights rifle.
