I also have one. Picked it up for a song at a gun show. The metal was all good, but the finish on the stock and forearm was totally trashed. All clouded and spots missing, could not see grain under the finish. It took a lot of careful scraping, and sanding with very fine sandpaper to get it to the point where it could be refinished. Turned out to have a very nice piece of wood. It is one of the earlier red pad models. I have a little Leupold VX3 1-5x scope on it. I am getting to the point where I like those smaller, straight ocular scopes on smaller guns. I have a couple of old Weaver K 2.5 and K3, post and crosshair and German #3 on a couple of Marlin 39a Mounties.
