Rifle is Remington 243 with scope.
Someday check the barrel markings. One can decode* the date it was made also.
Remington uses B L A C K P O W D E R X as a code, indicating the numbers one through 12 (for months). Then letters for year of manufacture. Since I'll assume it's not too old, 1980 = A, running through alphabet to T = 1999. After that, I'm not sure, but I think they went to serial numbers corresponding to date of manufacture.
Just for grins, along the same lines of "send picture of boat and motor" does the scope have a noticeable gold ring and bear the name "Leupold"? There are better scopes, but Leupolds have a certain charm.
Variable power scopes are popular, but there's nothing much wrong with a fixed "6" power. No problematic parallax for the better fixed power scopes. To get a good variable power that reduces or eliminates that problem can be $$$costly$$$, like as much or more than the rifle itself...
Learning to use a scope with both eyes open (but only one eye peering down the tube) can help overcome the limited field of view of higher magnifications, avoiding swinging the gun all over the place looking for the animal for a follow-up shot.
That can be practiced at a decent shooting range. It's part of the mental outlook, practice & discipline.
Since I don't live in TX, I never tried to make it to the Freeper Memorial shoot. Some of the participants are women. There might be some freeper or another nearby you, which wouldn't mind having you tag along to the range, or even a hog hunt. In the fall, or early winter after the acorns have fallen, and a bit of rain softens up the ground making the rooting signs readily apparent (it looks like the ground was plowed up with a rototiller), can be a good time to go. At least out on the West Coast...
Grain fed hogs taste better though. (too much muddy rooting can leave them muddy tasting I'm told, though I've never much had that problem) Barley fields can be excellent. They love carrots. Some guided hunt ranches plant them just to help keep the hogs coming back.
