So I picked this little gem up of another boards for sale section. The previous owner had stated that there was 26 rounds down the tube, but that he had managed to strip out two of the base mount screws.
Well, after a shipping delay (my fault) and California's 10-day wait period, I picked her up yesterday and delivered her to a local smith who is going to thread the barrel, instal a brake, open up the scope mount holes to 8x40, a trigger job, refinish the barreled action, and glass bed the stock.
The shopping for the a reloading setup starts Friday, and hopefully by the end of May I'll be shooting this beast on a regular basis.
Thanks for all the help the Hide has provided and I'll update with more pictures, a range report, and load workups when the time comes.
