memtb, to me, luck has played a large part in my hunting rifles. My brother was talking about a bolt action rifle in 35 Remington he was building at our hunting club meeting. A friend mentioned that his wife hunted with one for years in 35 Rem and that she didn't use it any more. When he asked if I was interested, I jumped on it. My brother had looked for years for one in good shape, finally gave up and started his build. I wasn't even really looking hard and had it fall into my hands.
Congratulations on your find! Good Luck can be a good friend!
I now often wish that great deals do not present themselves to me……too many firearms, and not enough relatives that would appreciate them…..especially those that are very important to me! memtb
You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel
