Tracking says mo should be there the 28th :-) I'm hoping to work this into my granddaughter's first deer rifle. 3040 strong enough at given distances, mild recoil and the sporter peep will be an easy learner.

It's very professionally done, with an expertly checkered walnut replacement stock, Lyman sights (front and rear), reblued receiver and bbl (original Krag bbl cut ...
