About 20-25% of the rifling is shot out of the barrel, and the finish has zero blueing left, reduced to a beautiful gun-metal gray, with the natural darkening of the wood on the stock that occurs from decades of handling over nearly 90 years, but with the standard (for that era) 'pencil tube' Weaver B4 scope on a diagonal side-mount Weaver N3 it's taken more than its weight in pesky tree rats.potting tree rats with a valuable collectors item, i see. that was Remingtons very first bolt-action, and only made for three years... you have one from the last year made.
It predates mandatory serial numbers, and has none on it.
The scope is nearly worthless with any angle that even gets -close- to sun glare. Though I found a scope repair place whose contact I still have here someplace, that not only offered to repair an old 1st gen Redfield Hunter 3-9x40 (that was broken from the factory, which I didn't discover until after Redfield had gone bust, but before they reopened production under a new entity), but who said they could also effectively rebuild BOTH of my antique Weaver B4 scopes, the other of which is on a Canadian-made Winchester bolt-action repeater with factory engraving on the stock, branded as a 'Cooey'.
The Remington model 33 (long barrel, single-shot, bolt-action) came to me from an old friend, now in the SW US, who was a mechanic up here, among many other things, including a self-taught machinist who built his own FN FAL, and was a fellow legalizer with us 20+ years ago, who sent it to me for my older son to learn to shoot.
He'd found and was gifted the rifle when he (and his now-deceased brother) were demolishing his grandfather's garage in Erie, Pennsylvania, and the rifle was just leaning up against a corner inside the garage.
They put down rabbits, bunnies, and candle flames for many years, before he gave it to me.
Even missing a visible amount of rifling, it's still often a tack-driver, depending on the amount of debris in the barrel. It actually LIKES to be just a little dirty; I think it helps to make up for the slight void from the missing rifling/threads in the barrel..

Are these fresh?
Artichoke hearts are fantastic, smothered in garlic butter and dusted with parmesan breadcrumbs finished in the oven gives it a crispy coating, simple home made vinegarett works wonders as well, quite versatile..

These are caned in water and salt.
I love them breaded. They are excellent grilled.
you'd kill an innocent artichoke just so you could eat its heart ? you monsters...
common for serious target shooters to fire a "fouling shot" before shooting a string at a target. if it wasn't a real thing, those folks wouldn't be doing it.

Beef sausage made with white Mexican cheese and ancho chilis, on a keto bun with no sugar ketchup, one and a half ears of sweet peaches and cream style sweet corn from Costco, and a half-ear of similar sweet corn from the greenhouse. (We let the greenhouse ear go too long, and the sugars were converting to starch).
RO H2O, and a 12-oz. hard lime seltzer at 5% abv. Along with a few pills for the night.

Home-fried spuds from the garden, a mix of French Fingerling, German Butterball and Yellow Finn potatoes, with Tapatio sauce. Eating them combined due to the skillet being made up of some of those spuds that were vole damaged and trimmed.
"Waste not, want not..."
A few traditional style sockeye salmon strips to go with the fried spuds.

No-sugar-added, uncured, hardwood/hickory and maple syrup-smoked bacon, with one egg over-easy with Tapatio Sauce, and home-fried spuds from the gathering of German Butterballs last night, with 16-oz. of freshly ground French roast coffee with 40% heavy whipping cream added, and 36-oz. of natural anti-androgen therapy by way of green tea.
I've doubled up on the green tea recently, as one miniscule method of addressing increases in my PSA/cancer numbers.
And a New Belgium Brewing 'Fat Tire' Sunday breakfast beer at 5.4% abv, before cleaning up, shaving for my mask, and heading into town with the truck and 12' trailer for another heating oil run of upwards of 165-gallons, and to pick up two 55-gallon empty fuel drums in as-new condition for initial cleaning with 99% isopropyl alc. and then put into use on a pallet under the barn where they'll serve as more heating oil storage, with what will then be a bit over 1,000 gal. capacity, counting the 500+-gallon main tank.
*Probably ought to invest in some game/trail cameras out there at this point, so I'll know who to hunt down in the event of disappearing fuel oil..
Fuel oil at one of two preferred spots in town went up .16 cents/gallon while I was waiting for the rain to stop over most of the last week, as I won't transfer or haul fuel in the rain, due to potential moisture contamination.
So now the rain and my self-imposed standards have cost me about an extra $25+. Fucking weather this year!!

Late breakfast again, preparing to get a box of salmon strips sealed in a Food Saver bag, then boxed, taped up, back in the freezer for the moment, and sent to someone I'd promised to have in the mail last week or yesterday. Today must be the day!! Probably around 2 PM. Maximize freezer time.
Just cooked for my wife and I, 2 strips each of the uncured, maple syrup brined, hickory smoked, thick sliced bacon, 1 egg over easy, and a respectable pile of crispy, properly prepared, tender, home fried spuds from the vole damaged potatoes we've been harvesting.
The spuds that haven't been nibbled on by the little critters go in burlap bags to the basement in the cooler corner, and the vole damaged spuds get trimmed, washed, and consumed post haste.
Added the customary 12 pills of Rx and supplements (plus 2 hefty-dose capsules of turmeric), 16-oz. of dark freshly ground French roast coffee with 40% heavy whipping cream, and the 34 to 36 oz. of green tea as an anti-androgen, toward diminishing testosterone production and cutting down on the feeding that would otherwise add energy to the tumor(s). Gentle cancer warfare without all of the undesirable side effects of Lupron.

My wife bought me a pint of Nick's keto-friendly Swedish Pistachio ice cream yesterday, then last night I somehow forgot about it!! WOW!! A first!!
Good stuff, but not as good as Nick's Triple Chocolate keto friendly ice cream or Rebel keto Mint Chocolate Chip or Triple Chocolate ice cream.
Still quite good, though.

ate some of the best butter pecan ever the other day at a Marble Slab Creamery nearby. oddly, they give you the pecans as a topping for you to stir in. i guess the poor unfortunates that are allergic to nuts don't understand that "pecans" ARE nuts, and that they should not order butter pecan icecream...

Like when a bag of nuts has a label on it that says, "Warning: May contain nuts."ate some of the best butter pecan ever the other day at a Marble Slab Creamery nearby. oddly, they give you the pecans as a topping for you to stir in. i guess the poor unfortunates that are allergic to nuts don't understand that "pecans" ARE nuts, and that they should not order butter pecan icecream...
Or when a car battery has a yellow triangular warning label that proclaims the presence of acid. I always dip my finger and lick it to see if I get the floor or walls breathing, or trails from the movement of my hands.
Tell me u live in the usa without saying you live in the usa.
