Hi Chuck, Thank You for the info; the stock is the more common 3 hole version. Appreciate your advise not to fire and will not do so. The stock butt plate was different then the pic you posted, it is checkered and when opening found a small piece of paper which hopefully you will be able to make some sense of....180 gr s.f. 0-100 yds inches 50 & 3/4, 100 0, 200 -5.5,300 -22.5,400 -5.5, 500 -18.8 Looks like someone has been firing this rifle at some time? Here in ny, close to city there are no good local gunsmiths; we live under the libs rule here and they have done away with them; fortunately we have a cabin in vt and the gunsmith there is very knowledgeable; thing is he is 65 and not that motivated to work anymore. He is good natured and takes on all work but finds himself only able to complete about 50% of it and that can take up to a yr. As you say don't do any harm above all, so would ask you this as you seem to have experience with snapped sight screws; would you be willing to take on the job if it is not doable from this point? Would it be legal to send you the action in the mail? How much would it cost? Mark
