Thanks for the information. Sounds like it'll be a decent rifle then, I'll pick it up tomorrow. I'm guessing it must be one of the better grade Bishop's from the description I've gotten of it. The Fajen fit to my Carcano sporter was/is oddly impressive considering that it was probably "workman like" in its time in terms of grade and intended use.

I didn't really like the Remington 700 in 7mm mag that I picked up three years or so ago. It was functional and all, but just didn't seem as well turned out as the ones that I remembered from my youth, back when a 700 was considered a fine/staple gun. I think this one is from the 70s, not sure, I was just told that it is "old". That's fine with me, I like old rifles with character.
