hey andy, thanks for the advice. the action is probably fine, and it would probably be safe to shoot, but i just won't ever use it. it's an old sears "long range winner" like this one, but in worse condition:


it's just taking up space, and I could use the $ for some sights for my 22/45 which is missing the rear sight
