Sure, I guess it`s legal as a high powered hunting rifle.

LOL I'd want it checked out first. It hasn't been fired in about 30 years. Cheapest weapon I ever bought. I think I paid $20 for it.

I bet it is in fairly good firing condition.

Might be. i bought about 25 rounds in 1976 and shot the last ones i had for it in 1980 thereabouts. Back then the rounds were $2 a piece.

I'd say with a good scope it could about take a deer off the other ridge. I know the round has the power to get there. I was surprised nobody had customized it for hunting.

OK but it may well dot your eye too.. I'd shoot it first and see how bad the recoil is. I honestly can't remember. But it's still the original wood so I'm guessing it wouldn't be real bad.

Yea if the stock had been changed out it would likely knock you a good one.

I think it is the same one. He traded it to me for a 303 and i later traded it back to him. Dang thing was dangerous. It wouldn`t eject shells part of the time.
