    I like old guns. They really don't make 'em like they used to.

    what are your thaughts on the old corncob bolt rifles? I like the history behind them and believe they are quite accurate, but think that people love to talk them up because they are the underdogs to the brother rifle the Model 700?
    curious, Iv allways wanted to buy one just to have a look at it. are they a lighter action than the 700?

    nope, heavier than 700

    very happy with it after load development, shoots real nice for an old clunker
