Bob would have liked a pre 64 fwt in 270 with DD mounts, factory fwt aluminum bottom metal, brown pounder installed by brown and painted black.

To say he came new to the Mashburn would be disingenuous. He was a huge fan of the 7mm Rem Mag and its ilk and had been for years. For that one turn Gene Simillion loose to match Bob's rifle. Mark and Bob agreed on the Mashburn and while their rifle platform wasn't worlds apart it was certainly a couple of miles apart.
