I am enjoying reading these comments. Really leaning toward making this a dedicated coyote gun. Although, since the state is hell bent on bringing grizzlies to the north cascades something in .375 might be nice. (Oops, did I say that out loud) :tung:

Keep it and try to hunt with it at least once a year when the weather cooperates. I love a gun with some character and history.


I don't have any of my own so I bought somebody else's and I'm giving it a good home for a while before I tear it apart and turn it into something stupid like a 22-'06 improved. :chuckle:

For the love of God don't molest that!

It's safe for now. I need a rifle to test .358 rifle bullets so it should be good for at least a couple more weeks.

Other then minor things I'd leave like it is, if you do a redo on it or make something else out of it you'll regret it down the road.

Most of us that had handed down firearms and either sold them, traded them or altered them regret it.

It shot well off hand in part due to the weight.  Keep it and take it out now and then.

I hope you do nothing to it and don't let it go. If you don't have any direct family to pass it down to, than I hope one day you pass it on to a young hunter that will learn the sport with it. Otherwise, cross the river with that beast!

You have to hang on to it. I've got a few heirloom firearms and hope someday I've got some grandkids to pass them down to.
