[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1250619, member: 77249"] From the pattern of stamped checkering, dates it to the 1970's or early 80's. The wood or composite that covers the bottom of the magazine area makes for a more stable/stronger stock. Loading and unloading is a little unhandy. Few Questions. 1. Does it have the trigger that locks the bolt, ON SAFETY ? You may want to have this changed, so bolt can be operated while the trigger safety is on. 2. Have you changed the Firing Pin Spring ? This rifle being 30 to 40 years old, I have had to replace old Rem. 722 and 700 rifles Firing Pin Springs to get good accuracy from them. 3. What type of scope covers are you using? I suggest you have your scope high enough off the barrel to allow your choice of scope covers to got on the Objective End. Snow is something to expect in the high country Elk Hunting. [/QUOTE]
