Nice. A lot of the old time squirrel hunters used rifles and scopes like that. Where's the cabin? Rothrock State Forest. 99 acres. That is cool, that is where I live. Im in those woods all the time.

Cannot read your mind, so I must ask- Remington or Winchester?

We had one of those when I was growing up. After my folks died, my oldest brother glomed it, then his outlaw kid sold it for booze/drugs.
Bastard!
And yes, very accurate! Ours never was scoped - killed many hundreds of rabbits, some squirrels, a few pheasants, and at least one deer.

I'm jealous, both of the gun and where the cabin is! I love that area of Pennsylvania.

Hatari and I and our spouses were up for the weekend as well. Truly a cool place. This is the larger cabin the big family group owns. Built in 1902 it's in the process of a major rehab with more lodging in the attic level, new HVAC and kitchen and a whole lot of upgrades. Next is re-chinking (racist! ) and blasting it with media to clean up the creosote. It's great now and will be amazing when done. Always nice of Jorge to have us up. We did a fair amount of shooting.

Rem 121, I love mine, produced in 1958.
If it has lost any accuracy in that time, I can't tell it.

OK you guys, quit with the "cabin" labeling. If it's got any sort of "HVAC" system it surpassed the cabin stage a long time ago. One might even consider it to have passed cabin stage when it was electrified. Y'all are as bad as some of them folks with "deer camps" that are more decked out than some fancy lodges I've been in.

Looks like a beautiful camp and I know the area is beautiful. Gun ain't bad either.
Enjoy

Wive's family cabin up in PA (she owns it now along with her sister and (idiot) BIL) and I discover this gem that my FIL says has not been shot in at least fifty years. Barrel was clean and shiny so I loaded some cheap-assed Armscor 22LR HPs and shot it at fifty yards with that ancient Weaver... Suffice it to say, it's mine now.... Sweet!

Beautiful old rifle. I wish some of the old rifles were still being made. Not many new rifles could shoot with them today without a lot of work.

You need a guy for the blasting, let me know. Got one. It's his main thing. Houses, cars, furniture. Local Vette restorer uses him, gotta have your ducks lined up blasting a 60's fiberglass body.
