What a sweet rifle. Made in 1961, as previously mentioned. I could tell by looking at the pics, even without the borescope pics, that it's hardly been shot, if even at all. You don't see them in that condition every day. Cool that it has the original box and hangtags. That's always a plus. GLWS.
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.

Rear sight boss wouldn’t be a featherweight I don’t believe. Both of mine don’t have it But what a cool find
Sorry you’re right, standard model… I’ll change the other post…
Indeed. It even says it on the hang tag.
Those who call magazines "clips" and cartridges "bullets" ought not to be taken seriously. Jeff Cooper. We might add those who call bullets "boolits.

Seller, although that’s a most generous offer, I think I’m gonna hold out for the next higher bidder😉

That is a dandy and I would love to have it but $5k is a lot of beans. Free bump and GLWYS.
