My smith/FFL bud thinks this is an early Medalist before they used the aluminum chassis and I think he’s right. I recently sold a Mauser Medalist with aluminum chassis and this stock seems lighter. It’s 32 oz compared to a typical wood stock, usually 40-42 oz.

I was going to mount a 3-9x40 Conquest, but had a 2.5-10x50 Elite 4200 Firefly lying there already with med Weaver rings. It’s a triplex instead of a duplex, reticle glows after shining a light on it for a while. Heavy reticle, heavy bullets may be a good combo at dim light in the woods.

Total weight with big, heavy scope is 8#, 11 oz. Not bad.

Barrel thru Hawkeye looks good. This gun has not been shot that much. Sharp throat, clean rifling.

Look forward to working up loads.
