Default This is my rifle.
There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I've been wanting one for almost 30 years. Finally! Built in 1945. It's in presentation condition. Bought from a Marine Vietnam vet. He was very picky and was looking to sell it to someone who would appreciate it.

That is a great looking rifle youve got there!!! Will you spend some time shooting her, or will she go to the safe? If you do let her out, please give a report on how she does... we dont get range reports on long guns enough around here!

Both. When I'm not shooting her that's where she'll reside.
