Picked up a 581 Remington today, talked to the guy last week and made a deal to pick it up this Sunday . He called this morning and said he got home early , did I want it today ? Being as patient as rebel rider I told him I was on my way. Now the bad news, it was an early model with a walnut stock in like new condition . Way to nice to cut down for my grand kids first rifle . This one will definitely not be getting cut up. So the search for a decent birch stock one continues.
