I'm waiting on pics tonight from the guy.
the wood is supposed to be exquisite, pics would speak wonders, and I'll post them when I get em.
does anyone know anything about these rifles?
I have one made in the early 1960s. I bought it NIB in the middle 1990s from a guy who had just inherited it from his father. The bolt hadn't been in the receiver since it left the factory, and metal parts were still covered with the original factory preservative, which had become pretty sticky by then. I paid $900.00 for it. Cleaned it up, bought some factory Remington .243 100 grainers, and headed for the range. It regularly grouped right around .6 MOA. Haven't shot it much (actually, just that one time). Sort of a safe queen.
