Shoots great. I have some ammo, but I will need to start reloading again.

Yep, a good buy, impulse or not.
There's something about M1's that no other rifle has. I think it's the balance. Think 150 to 180 grain bullets with IMR or H 4895, IMR4064 or Varget with regular large rifle primers. 165 grain hunting bullets if you opt to lug it hunting. Same powders.

I bought mine at least 17 years ago at the gun show in Montreal for $450.
The rifle was in mint condition, but I think I paid too much then, because the going price then was $300-300 for a good one.
I regret having sold it 5 years ago for $1200.
On the positive side however, it was a great investment (close to 170% increase in 17 years
).
Just wish my retirement fond would do as well.

My son was with me, so resale is out of the question. He will just wait me out and get it. Thanks for link Sunray.
