Old Mossy Horns
So back in the mid 90’s, the very first centerfire rifle I ever bought brand new was a Rem 700 Classic in 25-06. I loved that rifle. I killed a lot deer with it. I sold it to a buddy, he killed a lot of stuff with it and then a few years later he sold it to a buddy and he kept on killin’ with it. Luckily, I’d told him if ever sold it, I’d like first dibs. Well about 10 years ago, he asked if I wanted to buy it back. I did. I picked up with where we left off. Gun has always been a great shooter regardless if factory or handloads. This gun has killed pile after of deer. I would guesstimate a number but most either wouldn’t believe me, or wanna put me in jail
The gun was looking very tired. Bluing was rubbed off in places on the barrel and hinge plate basically only had about 10% bluing left on it. Original stock looked like we’d drug it behind the truck. I decided ol girl needed a makeover. Took it to a gun smith near my house, barrel was black nitrided and rest was cerakoted. Put a new stock on it and set a new 4x12x50 Burris on it. I’m loving it!! She turned out better than I could’ve ever hoped!!
