Stupid on my part to not buy it, even though I had 4 30-06's in the stable already. I have 1 SS MKII 300 win mag boat paddle tucked away for future use. These rifles keep going up in value. The rubber goodyear butt pad sucks and needs to be replaced with a limbsaver or similar recoil pad, especially on the heavy kickers.


Same for me ! I had a s.s. zytel in 270 Win. that I bought at a pawn shop for $250 best deer rifle I ever had!
$250 will not get one now!


Yep, what a steal back in the day. No way anyone would touch that rifle now for less than $650.00. The true beauty in these is their usefulness and ruggedness. They are a pure utilitarian rifle that just flat out works. The triggers are so simple, yet rugged and the 3 position wing safety is easy to manipulate. They handle great and shoot fine and the stainless finish puts up with a lot of abuse. To me, these were the new "rifleman's rifles" and I regret not buying more when I had the chance.
