My early, 56' gun has that 'mottled' SS look and this late gun has the slick CM blue look. Both shoot great and given the good factory ammo we have now I would not be afraid to have one for a 'do all' varmint and whitetail gun. Even at 61 I still like a heavy barrel gun. Im sure another year or 3 will have me hunting the fwts. very best winpoor
PS, Mr Reelman ,I will check ammoroom but someone gave me a box of HSM? or hunting shack ammo loaded with 95 gr bergers and after 4 shots I said dog dam I better put these up for deer hunting! Even though I rarely use under a .25 cal on whitetails! Those things were super accurate and I was told wicked on whitetails, I had never used hunting shack ammo before or since. v best winpoor
