I traded an air rifle with a friend of mine for an old beat up savage 94 that he got as trade for some work he did . it was in sad shape . i refinished the wood with bc tru-oil and had a big brass bead installed in place of the tiny aluminum one . i also had a new trigger guard installed in place of the missing factory unit. it turned out very nice IMO and is a joy to shoot . it shoots much better with that big brass bead , and is deadly on clays with rotwiel #6 game loads and should be a great gun for squirrel or rabbit hunting .
