My grandfather recently gave this to me. It was the first centerfire rifle I ever shot when I was a young kid. I always told him I wanted it and he recently gave it to me. From what he can remember he purchased it when he was 16, he’s turning 80 this month. I don’t know a lot about the older stuff, but it’s in excellent shape and doesn’t appear to have been refinished, at least since he’s owned it. The only issue I see is the top sling swivel appears to be cut for some reason and at some point someone put a rubber butt pad on it. He actually found a replacement metal butt plate and screws, but whenever they did the rubber butt pad, they glued a piece of wood like a filler piece. I’m not comfortable enough removing it as I don’t want to mess it up. Anyone have any ideas or recommendations on someone who can? This will be passed on to my boys so I’d like it to be done right. Also any information on the rifle itself will be appreciated! Also anyone shoot one of these things? I’ve read about modern 30-06 and pressures are little much for the older rifles. Do they make something that is safe to use? Probably won’t shoot it much at all, just want to be able too if I want too.
