Me too. It was my Dad's. I have recently inherited one just like it from my wife's late grandfather. I will kill a deer with it next year. Old school, no scope. CD.
that's interesting. my son just inherited his maternal grandfathers 1966 remington 742 in 30-06. the gun was a gift to my father-in-law from his father-in-law. it's the remington 150th aniversary model. it has a circa 1966 weaver fixed magnification ~3X scope on high rise mounts and iron sights. it's a cool gun, but doesn't really shoot that well at least with the loads we've tried in it. my son wants to kill a deer with it on his grandfathers farm in mississippi next season. my father-in-law killed his first deer with the 742 on togo island in mississippi river.
