Speaking of Echols, here's a post my friend Chuck Nelson put up on AR a couple years back about D'Arcy's desert sheep hunt.
He ended up killing it with his wife's M77 6.5-06 and 6X Leupold...

I think Jerry Fisher's hunting rifle is a pre 64 M70 standard in 7x57 that was punched out to 7 Rem Mag years back. The problem all these skilled rifle makers have is that every time they build a rifle for themselves,someone wants to buy it,and it being how they make a living, the rifle gets sold.
I recall that Len Brownell built himself a 280...
