When Ronald Reagan was president, we had Bob Hope and Johnny Cash. Now that Barack Obama is president, we have NO hope and NO cash.

I have one of these in .358 Win and it is a tack driver. One thing to be aware of is the magazines for these early guns. IF you can find one you will have to pay between $200 to $300 dollars to purchase. Just sayin'. I have seen them go much higher. For as much as they go for, I keep waiting for someone to offer them aftermarket or new oem. I have the identical rifle in 358. Years ago, after a long day of tracking in fresh snow, I went to release the magazine, which proceeded to fall through cold hands into about 12" of fresh snow. Damn near froze my hands trying to find it. Had to go to my truck several times to warm up. Kept thinking of how hard it would be to find replacements. A word of caution: Be careful buying used ones. I got taken on one off an auction site. The feed lips had been altered, and it didn't feed reliably in my 358. Luckily I came across a good seller who offered a fair deal on 2 of them right here on 24 HCF.

I had one in 358 with two magazines. The guy that bought that rifle didn’t want the second magazine. I had that second magazine on my table at a gun show. Another dealer came over - boy was he pissed. He had one on his table for $350.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally
