Take your time Chris, the nice rifles are out there.
Unless you fall in love with a rifle at first sight, like I did.

Now I am spending money restoring an early sporterized Rock Island.
Funny thing is, the receiver is unmolested and no extra holes.
Not even a Hatcher's hole.

As usual, I will end up spending more to save a rifle I should have passed on...
Just like the Savage model 40 I bought. >|( But I love it! And I preserved
another rifle for the future generations!
