Just found out I won an auction for the rifle I've wanted since I was a kid looking at the rifle my uncle used on elk and mulies up in Idaho. A Newton 1st production in 256 Newton (think 6.5-06). Paint me a happy camper! BTW - I'll have a rifle to sell as soon as I get them. Anyone interested in a 1920 Savage in 300 Savage? (Bottom rifle in the pic)

Rifles are similar to boats and young women...there's no end to how much money you can pour into them without making them any more useful.

I believe in science and I’m an insufferable [censored] Actually, BBC is pretty damn good "You Cannot Simultaneously Be Politically Correct And Intellectually Honest!"

nice, the newton's were not factory drilled & tapped, always wanted one, but my eyes can't do the iron sights.

I looked it up. It was a pre-64 Model 70 in 30 Newton. It was packaged with a Pre-64 in 270. Those two combined went for $1380.00 including the 'buyers premium'.
