Nice lookin' rifle. I just put a set of those stocks on my 30-30 Handi and I love 'em. I'm lookin' for another set for my 357 mag now. ;D

 Good looking gun. What size is it? I like cheap scopes, depending on what you are mounting it on. I have been lucky enough that I have only had one go bad. Side adjustment went bad for some reason. Still works, just not much adjustment anymore.

4X32 Simmons.. Guy has them on E-Bay with Weaver Rings and  Weaver base for $39:99 plus shipping.. Comes to $50 for everything, screws too... No hammer extension.. I shouldn't need a $500 scope to shoot 45 Colt distances..
