Thanks it is Papa's old rifle it functions flawlessly, but the scope that was on it must have been 30 years old. Took it to the range before the hunt to sight it in and the elevation knob broke off in my hand. I scrambled and found a BSA 3x9x40 in one of my boxes of Crap. Nothing like mounting a scope the day before you leave and for a trip 800 miles away, but it all worked out. This year I will be taking my new Savage 111 trophy hunter in .270. Which reminds me I need to start ordering some parts and get on the ball November will be here before I know it.
