My Grandfather gave me his Remington 742 Woodsmaster in 30-06 this afternoon. My grandfather on my fathers side actually bought it new and used it as his deer rifle in the mid-late 80's. Unfortunately he passed away about a year before my birth. When he passed my grandfather on my mothers side bought the rifle from my widowed grandmother and fully restored it. New furniture, Pachmyer recoil pad, nice sling, and a Redfield Tracker 3x9 40mm scope with see through rings. He came to me today while i was outside working on his truck and told me the history of the rifle and that he wanted me to have it. Pretty cool heirloom considering it has history on both sides of the family. I got the rifle, 5 mags, and a .50 cal can full of 30-06 ammo.
