I've been looking at this one at the pawn shop across the street from my work, but he wanted a little much for it; $400 US dollars. I liked the looks of it better than the others I've seen around, however, and told him I'd take it if he dropped fifty bucks. He countered with "You pay the transfer fee ($10), and it's yours."-----So $360 and I was out the door.
I think it's a recon or rebuild, total new blue, all there, and functions perfectly.
Took it out this afternoon and banged off fifteen rounds of Wolf into three inches at fifty yards (range finder). I was kind of amazed, because my rest wasn't all that great, and I didn't really put much effort into it. With the sight in its lowest position, the group was centered about one inch high.
The bore on this little rifle looks like new, and I don't think the thing has even been used since it was rebuilt. Stock is kind of crappy, looking like they slapped lacquer on with a brush, and I may strip it and refinish to my liking; or---not.
Trigger is pretty bad, but I can live with it. This thing is ready to rock and roll just the way it is. Oh yeah, they gave me some stripper clips, and they work pretty slick. Now I just need to find about a thousand rounds for a good price. jd
