Welcome :thumbsup:. Where did you get it from? Received it from a fellow gun nut up here in Canada who had never shot it. It was covered in packing grease as was the scope turrets and the mount. It had a small set of tools in a heavy wax type paper along with a metal bottle with 2 caps that had gre...

I have had this rifle only for a few days now. I am not to good at taking pictures as the eyes have a good many decades on them now. About the markings The bolt, receiver, butplate and magazine all have the same PM# no where that has a PEM on it just PM. The muzzle of the barrel has no markings on i...
