Agreed. Just not right to sell off all the toys in the dead of winter when we're broke!!!

Put this together as short to medium range whitetail stalking gun . The 7.62 x 39 is well suited to this task when loaded with the right bullets. The gun is quick to point and easy too focus on running target with the 3 x post and cross hair.

This gun is unhunted. I bought it new as a project. Anyone familiar with these rifles know that the stocks are not finish very nice,so I set out to improve on it. The bolts tend to bind a little when operated fast. My smith worked magic on the bolt and trigger and they are very nice now. I set out to improve on what was a good rifle that just need tweaking to make a great little rifle.

It's not a super lightweight 7 3/4 lbs. I was going to lighten out the butt stock but I fear it make it front heavy

The walnut is very dense and floor plate and trigger guard are milled steel both lending too the weight

I have a Ruger No.3 in .30-40 and a 1952 Marlin ADL .30-30. Care to do any swapping?
Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths. "there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser" "the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"
