Two of the scope ring screws have boogers on the slots
That's a beautiful rifle, super find! That would be an heirloom if I had it in my safe, it's good that such a gun found a home where it will continue to be appreciated to the fullest extent.
Gotta have a Deuce, and it might as well be a pretty one!

That's beautiful.

Thanks for sharing the pics with us.
Back in the early 60's those were the 'real shooters' everyone bragged about.

Now then, stop braggin and get it out there and break it in!!!

Enjoy it, and hang on to this one.

I've seen em just like that, lots of em. They were new on the shelf and I was drooling on em. About $135.00ish I'd guess back then, I'll give ya $200.00 Blake what do ya say????
Dandy find my friend, you deserve it. Let us know how it shoots. Actually I already know how it'll shoot, but tell us anyway just for fun.
You gonna break it in as new beings how it is?

A truely nice find blake. as you know I am in transit at the moment grabbed the chance to log on at a back packers hostel while the wife was sorting all the shipping documents, I better go and look like I am helping.
