I came across a scoped Model 30 in Hamilton, Montana about ten ears ago in a pawn shop. I'm not sure they knew what it was as it had been painted in several colors of green and brown and it was $275 cash only price. It was early Sunday morning and I had no cash. I came back Monday with the cash and the price had gone up to $475 and the Weaver scope had been removed and a cheapo Tasco put on the rifle.. I walked.

.303 and 3006.

This is how I like them but I would have a 1917 sporter if I could find the right one.
