Yesterday, I picked up a .308 Winchester Model 100. It is just the regular model and not the carbine. I must say that this rifle is very clean and definitely hasn't been shot very much. I checked the serial # and it was made in 1962 it's my FIRST Pre-64 rifle I got this rifle from a guy who inherited it from his grandfather when he passed away. He told me he knew nothing about guns and din't have a use for them and couldn't even own a gun. I did run the serial # at the local PD and it came up clear so I jumped on it.
It still has the front sight hood and has ZERO rust anywhere. The bore is "bright" and rifling is very "sharp." It had a Savage 2.5x20 scope mounted so I swapped it out for a Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40 that I had collecting dust in the closet.
I don't expect tack driving accuracy, but I believe if I can get 1-1.5 inch groups w/ handloads I'll be happy. I won't be "hot rodding" this rifle either. Any people on here have experience with these particular rifles. I do know about the recall and will be checking on that before I shoot it.
