Well, I got it today. The sender or UPS up there put down a non-existent address on the other side of town. (Town is real big .. about 4 sq. miles. 
)
The bores are pristine .. shiny clean with very shallow rifling like a centerfire.
The stock is hand checkered walnut but whoever inlet the blank did it off-center so the wood on the right side of the action is very thin where the barrels swing down. This has resulted in a small chip that is really not repairable due to the thinness of the wood there.
There are a few spots of minor surface rust on the receiver and top of the barrel. Otherwise, it is a real gem. This was a real quality gun when it was manufactured and probably not inexpensive,
The sling is quality leather made by a saddle shop and the front sling attachment is made with a hole so the aluminum ramrod can be inserted.
I would be very pleased even if I had paid $500+ for this gun.

The 24" barrels with shallow rifling have a 1:28" twist. What projectiles would you guys recommend that I use??
I will appreciate all thoughts.

Ron, I forgot to put in that the gun weighs 9 lbs. 6 oz. but it balances nicely.
I have a Ruger 77 with a fluted bull barrel and it has about the same balance. Before I had the bull barrel fluted, it was top-heavy and I could hardly carry it with a sling.

Don't know much about that gun myself, but it sure is nice looking and what I deal you got. I think I need one of them. I hope she shoots good for you.

I just got back from hunting in the panhandle last night and caught a cold from my son's family so I haven't shot it yet. I'll shoot it and see whether it's regulated or not but it will probably be Dec. 5th or 6th until I can get around to it. I have another hunt this week and next weekend.
I also have a deer to butcher.
