First I want to give a Big "Thank You" to fellow MO member Henry Bowman for the lead on this rifle. It was at a pawn shop about 1 1/2 hours drive from the house. After reading Henry's description of the SC I took a ride this afternoon to give it a look-see. I thought the bluing was in good shape; the stock has several "character" marks, but all in all good condition. It is one year older than me so I'm inclined to sympathize with such signs of an adventurous life. After a short discussion with the shop owner was able to get it for $250.00 plus the guv'ners cut. She cleaner up pretty well and the bore is shiney. Fired off three rounds of 150 gr. reloads and it is shooting high with the rear sight in the lowest notch. Will try it later without the elevator installed. The rear sight is rather thin sight with a narrow slit, not the Marbles type sights that I commonly find. Difficult for these old eyes to use. I'm sure I'll be looking for a peep for this one.
This rifle had the two small screws on the left side of the receiver on either side and slightly below the ejector stud hole. Are these the screw holes for mounting a peep sight such as a Williams Fool-Proof? The trigger on this rifle is blue rather than gold and the trigger pull is very light. No flop.
