Henry Rifle Forums

I went to my LGS today to get some large rifle primers and they were out of my brand. Didn't look at any used guns as I needed to avoid the temptation. Well in come a guy who used to work there and he was carrying two red towels and laid them down on the counter. I wasn't interested in looking until he said he had two Remington 700 stocks for sale. They was a ADL long and a ADL short. So I looked at the long and didn't really need a long action stock. Then I unwrapped the short one and I thought this would make a nice hunting stock for the Classic 250 Savage Dad left me. So I asked the price and he said $50 but to you it's $40. So I didn't buy a complete rifle but I did buy a nice stock.

Nice looking stock. I've noticed the table in a few of your pictures. Looks like a 60's vintage table. Do you have the chairs to go with it?

Don't have the chairs. A friend of mine had it in his basement and was going to pitch it so I said I would take it. We had the exact same table at home when I was in grade school around '58. He told me that this table was bought around '56. I guess I was lucky it still had the leaf with it. I have cut up a lot of deer on this table. Makes a handy place to pile my stuff on from the range until I put everything back where it belongs.

Beautiful wood!

I bet if you look closely to the underside you will find the manufacturing date.

Cool. The right place at the right time.

Very nice stock.

What's in the CZ box underneath?
