Greetings all. I am new to the forum. Here's what I've got in the barn as of today:
Pre-64 Model 70s: 300HH (two each); 375HH; featherweight 30-06. All shooters and in top condition. My 1948 300HH is not drilled and tapped for a scope base on the back bridge of the receiver. Kinda cool!

I would say my 1953 vintage 300HH. It is am impressive shooter. I have a Leupold LPS scope on it: 2.5x10. One hole rifle. I would say my 375HH is in the best condition and has the purdiest wood.

I have hunted mule deer and whitetails as far as big game. Have hunted black bear but never saw one big enough to go through the trouble of gutting, skinning, etc. Hunt grouse a lot, and snowshoe hare when time allows. What do you guys chase around?
