Still have my 1st year Gold Medallion. Unfortunately the stock is a pile of ashes in a northern Maine deer camp.
Took out of the moth balls after 20 years a while back to see if it still shot bugholes. It did. So I took it out for old times sake on a -billion degree day and the insanely gorgeous stock promptly spit clean in half at the wrist. I wept openly....
As much as [bleep] on them as a 700 lover those things fit perfect and shot lights out with ease....
Cheers
