Darn old rifles, I can't resist them. I guess I could have worse habits. I try to pick up good conditioned rifles that are a little unusual in 1 aspect or another, especially if I think they're priced too cheap.
Bought a Rem 760 in 35 Reminton for a good price of $350. Not rare, but not common. Tootsie roll forearm, or as some people call them corn cob. Knew it was an early model in good condition and is un-molested. Original aluminum butt plate, no sling swivels, not drilled and tapped. Checked the barrel code when I got it and it happens to be 1952, a first yr production. Even better. Don't know what I'll do with it but I love the Rem 141 predecessor to it I have in 35 Remington.
Appears to have been carried way more than it was cycled and shot. Still a good bit of bluing left on the slide bars and very little bluing wore off the action tube.
