That's a nice looking rifle. After the chop job, kind of like a better version of my little 30TK. But that's ok. I like it and don't really mind the birch, and I got a pretty good deal for a kind of rare dog that probably doesn't have much more than a couple of boxes of shells through it as the rings on the bolt are very visible and the blueing is pert near perfect. I might try and jazz it up with a lace on leather buttstock cover with ammo loops😉

I don't recall which one has the drop in the stock like that. Must be a 444, which is what I always thought I wanted when reading the ballistics charts in the back of the Shooters Bible. But now I've grown to appreciate the old 30-30😀

I'd still like a pistol caliber carbine with more magazine capacity. But now that I've got my scoped short rifle, I won't mind a 92.
Dang...this one lever action arsensal is going to be harder to stick to than I had figured. Maybe I'll just get some nice quick detach rings instead.
