Harve, I agree with my friend Mo. Great photo. Fine looking rifle.
Good data that this "old" cartridge will kick it out to 180.
And with iron sights, no less.
I'm truly envious that you live in or near the Black Range.
That's one of the most beautiful ranges I've ever been in.
Driving east out of Silver across the Black Range is
one of the most awesome drives I ever did, and I did it repeatedly,
mostly after backpacking trips in the Gila on the way back up to ABQ.
The trip up the west side through the foothill switchbacks was always a treat.
The view looking east into the Rio Grande Valley from the pass defies words.
I can still smell the creosote (bush) while driving down after an August storm.
You're a lucky guy to be there.
