Sure it has a recoil pad but I will buy every Pre-64 in reasonably good condition that I can find up here for what would be $500.00 without the scope.

Thats the kind of deal i look for. Well done. Nice rifle. Ill tell you a secret, id pick up a nice pre 64 like that over a damn 99 every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I had a chance to take my dads 99 in 303 savage last year, but left it at my moms house. Totally unappealing to me.
