I have one purchased in the early 1980's, straight grip, micro groove, no safety on them yet at that time. I've carried it but never got a shot at deer. Planning on using it this year, so I bought an older Weaver K-2.5 scope due to the front sight being pretty much invisible anymore. (Darn 61 year old eyes!) Just mounted the scope this afternoon. Never fear, it came already D/T from the factory. Original plug screws safely stored in a labeled ziplock bag. Now time to hit the loading bench and work up some loads. Because of the type of rifling, I'm planning on using some of the 350gr Berry's Plated bullets for practice, with Reloader 7.
