Dirtiest, grungiest gun in the place. The bore looked dirty but good. I gave a hundo straight up for it. Brought it home and simply cleaned the beejeezus out of it. It really blossomed nicely steel and wood for an A model. Bore polished up as new. I will put it up against any new or old, any make, as far as accuracy that thing is a true tack driver.

My most accurate reload is ; 54.5 gr H4831SC , WLR primer , Rem brass , Hornady 130 gr Interlock bullet. Every rifle is typically different for the best recipe for a reload. Will be working up a new hunting round for a Barnes copper solid (TSX).

The mount is an original rocky mountain bighorn sheep. It has the same genetics as the ram that Jack O'Connor harvested. That was my point. To explain it further here in Montana we have two different gene pools of sheep. One is from the Sun River pool and the other is the original. Most of all the rams harvested are transplants from the Sun River herd. They have a larger horn mass.The rams that score in the B&C book from Montana are from the Sun River gene pool herd.
