Re: Rifle identification

I took the scope off and the mounts had the numbers “45” and “46” on them. Probably a part of the scope and not the actual rifle, though. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220801/03d6affa12c8f90c30d820f1d7ca10eb.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220801/9a656cf98b4629bf9660915581d0aa3f.jpg Taki...

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, but...
