Thanks guys. I thought it was pretty amazing to find such a large group of folks that like these guns. I mean they are plain, simple, cheap and shoot great, who would want such a thing?
Right now I have a '82 model in .22 Hornet and the 25-06 I bought 2 years ago and topped off with a Leupold3x9. I lost my lease right after I bought that one, but got a new place this year and have been running some rounds through it and learning what I can and can't do with it.
Me and Zach plan on busting a few hogs in the upcoming months. I've got to see about getting him a Handi something or other for his B-day coming up.
