Old Timer
 

I finally have my Winchester 75 about as complete as I am going to get her.

She is a little camera shy dressed in her new (to her) Litschert scope. I think she looks great for a 70 year old.

The old Winchesters are hot right now. I may just have a new area to invest in.

Anybody else hooked on older toys?

They dont make em like they used to. My favorite ones are the ones that were passed on to me by my dad and grandfather.

Nice piece you got there.

Is that the original wood on that thing? If so it's in excellent condition and shines really well. Keep doing whatever you've been doing to it, it looks great!

Very cool. I will have to have some one dig up some of my pics to add to this.

erocktxmade,
The wood is original and the rifle overall looks to be about 90-95%. The old target rifles were lovingly cared for in a lot of cases. The only thing that is a set back is the butt plate has been replaced.

Absintheur,
That's a great looking collection you have going there!
