My Dad's old M71 that I have. He bought it new in the 50's when he was youngster. Only rifle he used and carried for over 20 yrs.
I got it out today and put a couple shots through it. I had picked up a box of the Hornady 200's recently so I feel better about shooting some of the partial box of those I had from before.
Had it sighted in with the Swift A-Frames last time I used it. Lowered the rear sight 1 notch for the Hornady's, but need to go 1 more lower. After a fouler it put 3 at an inch at 50. I can do better. Need practice. Ha.

Killed a couple with this rifle.........like the 35 calibers it makes short work of them. Last was with the Swift A-Frame and has been 2 seasons since I carried it hunting. Need to change that.
