Thanks Michael,
I'm not sure when Grand Daddy made this one. In the 50's I think. It looks more like a Stevens 44 1/2. He made a couple of extra barrels...a K Hornet and a 32-20. This rifle is one of the ones I grew up with. My father killed a lot of crows with it. I must have reloaded 1000 round for this thing and it still shoots .5 MOA. It had a Weaver J-4 on it, but it sprung a leak about 20 years ago. It's got a $100 Tasco on it now. Damn, I love this thing.
