Well Gentleman, Just got home from the SCSC show and had a good day. Visited with some friends and talked a lot. Wasn't as big a show as usually is. Saw some interesting things. I picked up a roller that's really nice. Remington action has been reblued to a nice deep blue. 32" badger 1-18 twist octagon barrel ( haven't measured it yet for taper), great trigger at about 1 1/2 lbs break. MVA long range soule sight with MVA base and Hadley eye cup. MVA wind gage front globe with level. Walnut is very nice and forearm and buttstock match. Also has a limb saver butt pad on it. Rifle looks great feels very good and is 45-70. Got it for $1000.00. Didn't really need another 45-70 but just couldn't pas this up. Ironic thing is the seller and I both drove 40 miles in the same direction to make this transaction. LOL Its a really nice rifle and should be a easy shooter with the weight and limb saver pad.
