Check This Little Gem Out .......
While at the range last week with my brother, a young fella showed up and had this beautiful, old Winchester .22 target rifle with him. Check it out.



This thing is an absolute piece of artwork. The scope, as you can see, is long and small in diameter. The optics were very sharp and much better than I expected. It's unfortunate that you can't see the grain in the stock. A variegated, tiger stripe pattern in the wood. Just beautiful.
I have no idea what model this rifle is or anything about it. Other than the fact that it was obvious, even to a moron like me, that it's probably worth a bunch.
The kid told us it had been his Grandfathers and in the family forever.
I had some serious gun lust going on for a couple minutes there.
