[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2147752, member: 36999"] I still have them and carry them in hunting season but these days I greatly prefer to shoot and hunt with a suppressed rifle and none of the older guns have the barrel thickness to accept suppressor threads. The only way to get them is to rebarrel at which point they become custom and are no longer the regular old school rifles of yesteryear. That being said last year I hunted with a Pre-War Model 70 in 30-06, a Winchester 1873 in .45 Colt, my grandfather’s Remington 760 in .30-06 in addition to the custom rifle that I built and primarily hunted with.
