I made a list of some of the items with estimates and what they were sold for, but I have not recorded a lot number for this rifle. You though may be successful if you browse the three auctions I have mentioned.

I would say that it's a total disaster.......... The scope recoils with the rifle and as it does so, attempts to rotate rearwards. Pulling the life out of the large screw holding the front pad down. This screw is obly threaded through the relatively thin barrel socket material.
That is, unless the person has decided to go a bit further......., and into the barrel.
If you don't believe me, let me tell you that these rotatig forces by the telescope are great. So great that they have been known to shear the front pad off or, even better - or worse - rip oiff the rounded segment of the pad that locates the telescope bracket.
I know that some of you are going to refer me to the Enforcers........... And I'll give the same reply.
