Model 581 left hand bolt

My brother in-law owns one of these. It ejects on the right. A nice little rifle, it wears a Weaver D-4 scope. I'm thinking this model is kind of rare. Do any of you own, or have you seen one? dinger.

My son has one and has had it for about 35 years. It's a great little rifle and has killed a huge pile of squirrels over the years, along with other assorted game.

  I still have several of them...  They are very nice little rifles, too bad no one makes a replacement STEEL magazine for them!!
