I finally filled a niche in my #1 modest collection. I have been looking for a non prefix 1-S in a caliber I don't already have in other configurations.
Today I picked up a 130 prefix Medium Sporter in 300 Win Mag. I may be wrong, but it appears to have a first generation checkering configuration on the pistol grip.
According to the RENE guide, the highest known Mershon recoil pad was SN 130-03860. This has the Mershon pad and is SN 130-05016.
Anyway, whatever the nuiances are, it is still my first 1-S. Paid over $700 for it, but I wanted it. 8) Nice wood too!
