I really like the looks of the 742 that has been offered to me and both guns are in very good condition. After a hour or so of researching the net I decided to pass ...

pitch fork butt plate gone off my Win 86

and my shoulder loves the change. I had a local stock worker saw the pitch fork off and install the Pachmayer pad on my 86. It sure makes shooting those RanchDog cast boolits alot more fun. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v70/randymerta/win865.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v70/randymerta/w...
