It's also a sears model 103 something or other, or a JC Higgins something or other; anyway, its an old bolt action tube fed 22.

Thanks for the link, Joe. I saw the ebay prices, and for what they go for, he could pick up a used rifle in decent condition. But he hand painted the stock/scope etc, and its his favorite.

We've all been there.
