The .35 half magazine that slipped through my fingers was a very 1950-60 looking rifle, w/ 22-24" barrel. Stainless lever rifles were a long way off.

Jmr40, I don't think we are talking the same gun. Techically, I think what I saw was a 336C or SC. Interestingly, I've never seen another in person.

Stagpanther, YMMV. FWIW, I handload, so your reduced recoil loads may not resemble mine.

I handload too, but the owner relies on commercial hunting ammunition. He is going to use it to hunt deer, so I told him to select the ammo he wants to use and then I will finish testing and print out dope charts for him. I think the gun is more than up to the task to take game, and I love the idea of it being used for that, as long as it's not bashed up in the process--I fell in love with this rifle.
