Well, that is a beautiful rifle, no question. It is in a whole nother class. It belongs to a friend of mine. For those of you who are wondering what we are talking about, here's a photo ...... gaze upon it and weep.
Kirk: An old geezer who loves the smell of freshly turned earth, old cedar rail fences, wood smoke, a crackling fireplace on a snowy evening, pristine wilderness lakes, the scent of
cedars and a magnificent Whitetail buck framed in the semi-buckhorn sights of a 120-year old Winchester. Blog: https://www.kirkdurston.com/

Nice '73 my man! Hey! I'm nosey, what did you let the 53 go for?-----------Sixgun
Well guys, it looks like we won't be hearing from Kirk over the weekend--he has a lot of fondleing to do. BTW, you may want to slug the bore as I've had 'em up to 431. 6 grains of Bullseye (1050) with a 210 Hensley and Gibbs (or 200 Lee) will shoot into less than 3" at 100---for play loads.
