My all-time favorite deer rifle! I bought mine new in summer of 1989. I immediately took it to a U. S. Army Armorer(a friend) who did some great work on the trigger. It is .243 caliber. I've probably shot 75 deer with it. Never missed....never shot a deer with less than 7-points(and only one of those). Eight-point was the lower limit for me. I will leave it for my grandson.During that time the only other rifle I hunted with was a Ruger No. 1 .270 caliber that also had a nice after-market trigger.

All my friends got too old to hunt, and I'm too old to go alone. It ain't much fun being a sundowner. But its better than nothing. Nowadays I spend my time at a rifle range shooting air rifles. I guess I just like to shoot.
