Just a big thanks to all who've made this interesting Thread possible, beginning with Cascade! Interesting guns, 'family side', human interest story! The "P17" - ok know slang nomenclature! But indulge an old man
! Below has been one of my favorite rifles. I have more than a few of them in 'civvies' as marketed under the Remington Model 30; here adding "Express" label and those are quite nicely done too.
Ironically, very, very rare to hear much about the Model 30 line. Quite fine rifles, yet 'bones' of their military origin. If you can find a nice late used 30, about all the "sporterization work you could wish as factory accomplished. Maybe only scope mounting detail!
Below a thirties era Rem 30, pretty much in original factory-upscale dress, excepting rear sight base. '06 chambering and that's just fine, if bit heavy, rifle! This one, not a candidate for any alteration!
Best & Stay Safe!
