    Another found rifle. Just a few months ago. Stainless shortened (Tikka??) with pic rail and red dot. Obviously not tied on well enough to someone's raft.

    Hard to tell if they left it there?? Certainly gingerly touching it.
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    Considering how smashed it is (trigger guard and recoil pad appear gone/broken), I suspect it's washed up there after being lost overboard.
