[QUOTE="JCDEERMAN, post: 5622286, member: 5787"] That’s awesome! Ours is vintage - older than me and I’m fixing to turn 40! My dad killed his first deer [button buck with it and I killed my first deer with it (1995 button buck as well)]…30 years to the DAY. If my math is right, that’s 58 years! It’s my go-to gun and only take it out if it’s not calling for rain or snow. Clean it after every shot and atleast twice a year if not shot. It’s mint condition. It’s obviously been through several scopes, but I upgraded it right before Nikon went out of business with a 3x9x50. It’s my go-to, as I hunt very close-quarter thick managed land. Closest shot, maybe 5 yards - longest shot 115. As an aside story, back around 2015, we were in our cabin having some brews one night and I bragged about every deer I had ever shot with the gun had dropped straight to the ground. Low-and-behold, the next morning, I shot a doe and she ran 30 yards before crashing. I got hell for that one, but just goes to show, a 200g shell will knock the piss out of them. Probably shot over 30 deer with that gun. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
