Mine is a 77 Tanger with a leupold vari-x III bought for the princely sum of somewhat under $400 or so back in '94. It was my first factory built hunting rifle, taking the place of a Kitchen Kounter Kustom Savage made No4 Mk1. I've not hunted with it in a lot of years, preferring a 7WSM for anything not doable with a 22 lr these days.
