Nice rifle RGK. You are going to give it a complex though  ..Nothing wrong with that MRC.. Being from Hill Country, it probably shoots every bit as good as my 375 
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Man that gun takes me back, my Grandfather was 2nd in command of our 'county farm' in addition to our family farm in the late 30's thru early 60's .I can remember the gun room and a couple or 3 of these Winchester autos stood in the rack, I can remember 1 Thompson as well. Shotguns were used out on road detail. I have my Grandfathers Win model 97, 12ga, 30" full choke I cherish the gun and its still my go to spring gobbler gun, it has never let me down I am still using out of a box of his Rem high brass #2 lead shot that has ' US Govt' over rolled on the outside of box!I also have 2 boxes just like the #2's that are buckshot.. I will try and dig out pix. very best Win Poor
