That is a beautiful rifle brother!!!!!Panther49 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 5:13 pmSorry for the first photo, bummer.
Anyway, it looks nearly new,inside and outside.
The flaws are minimal, can't be seen unless pin pointed.
Thoughts:
Beautiful, hefty, action is super slick.
I don't see myself taking this rifle for a week to the palmetto scrub and scratching it all over. Is going to be a range rifle and possibly for shooting from a blind or something. ( I have others for dragging through the woods).
Maybe, just maybe a Skinner sight for kicks.
The barrel is super clean, shiny, rifling like new. Evidently very little use by the PO.
What a rifle!
I hope that it shoots as good as it looks!!!!
In Florida. Sand, Palmetto, Long Leaf Pine, Oaks and a lot of water.markiver54 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 8:23 pmVery nice indeed! Congratulations Great pics, except for #1..LOL
BTW, given your username and the mention of Palmetto, I'm curious where you reside?

I have its twin, it has been a wonderful shooter and looks great too. Just a thought, the color case hardening does nothing for 'rust proofing' and I did get a touch of rust on mine, luckily I caught it in time and now keep anything that is color case hardened oiled and check them now and again. I don't have ammo recommendations for you as I hand load, but my rifle hasn't been fussy. Mine wears a 2x7 Leopold scope right now. I do have skinner sights on my Marlin 45-70 and I really like them.
