Re: Rifle identification
New here, thanks in advance for helping.
I have an older bolt action 30.06 rifle that I inherited from my dad when he passed in 2006. I know he had it at least back to the early 1980s, but probably for some years even before that.
The rifle has no manufacturer info or import info stamped on it ...
