My Wonderful Grandmother Alice gave me one of these a VERY long time ago. Of which I very stupiditly traded for a divorce. ( I should of sold another gun instead. But then I am an idiot) Anyways, this rifle was in ’06 and kicked like a mule. Especially since it had NO recoil pad to speak of.
So learn from my mistakes! In that one should be very careful of who or what you marry. Also that one should NEVER sell a classic rifle unless your back is to the wall. That & a good recoil pad is a solid investment! Grumpy
