    That is a nice rifle, and classy. I also have a nice sporter that my late uncle sporterized in the early 60's, when everyone was doing it.
    I restored it last year, with my own additions, and would never part with it. Like I said, yours is classy.

    Great looking rifle.
    I like the back story.

    That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
