I picked up one today to add to my collection. It's chambered in .300 Savage and according to the numbers was made in 1954. It's been used plenty and shows wear but well taken care of, not beat up and bore looks good. Came with a cheap scope which I will probably replace with something more period correct like a Weaver K4.
Dad had one when we were kids and I always thought it was cool. It was what he let us use on our first western trips. Somewhere along the way he traded or sold it so I picked this one up for old times sake. Found 60 rounds of 150gr ammo to get it zeroed with as well.
Just curious if anyone else hunts with one? If it shoots well I might shoot a whitetail with it or let one of the kids use it.
