And I’m really excited! It was manufactured in 75’ and the blueing is spotless. I shot it a few times and the iron sights were on, well good enough to blow up a huge ant pile at about 70 yards. Handles great and feels nicely balanced, better than my other 336 in .35rem. Also happy it doesn’t have the cross bolt safety. I’ll probably put some kind of small scope on it before I give it to my father, his eyes aren’t as good as they used to be. May have to borrow it during deer season though, I’d like to see what 265gr Hornady lever evolution does to a deer. Man I can’t wait to see my dads face when he opens this bday present!
