Hit the 6" gong on the first three shots from the porch (97 yards) when I brought it in the door.... Will try to smack a doe with it after Thanksgiving I suppose. -Jake Last edited by Bocajnala; 10/22/21. Small Game, Deer, Turkey, Bear, Elk....It's what's for dinner.

I wouldn't have passed on that one either. Caliber? Date code? Date code should be stamped on the left side of the barrel, right by the receiver and should be 3 letters, 2nd & 3rd letter should be the same, like YY. Looks to be 1950's vintage.

Has a cloudy weaver k4 on it. Hoping that once I clean it up and adjust it that it will clear up some. Would like to keep the k4 on it. Has a mount that flips to the side. -Jake Small Game, Deer, Turkey, Bear, Elk....It's what's for dinner. If you know how many guns you own... you don't own enough. In God We Trust.
