Thanks Winpoor, that is actually my grand dad "Pop" and that is early to mid 50's I think. I got the date around here somewhere by an order for gloves he had made from the hide for my grandma and him.

He is the guy that got me dreaming about chasing big game animals. I would lay over a tooled leather ottoman from Peru under the shoulder mount of that deer reading Jack O' Conner and others in his "Outdoor Life" magazines. I miss that man, but he is always with me in the field for sure.

GSPfan asked me to post these pics of his Sako. His description:
Rifle is built on a Sako L61R action. It features a 24 inch straight octagon barrel and the rib was milled out of the blank meaning it wasn't attached later it's solid with the barrel. Three folding leaf rear sights and the trap door in the butt is drilled to hold three additional shells. Stocked in an ok piece of English walnut it's chambered for the 7X57AI.

Yooper35, that's a beaut! I wouldn't normally be a fan of a vent rib on a rifle but I think that one pulls it off.

Here are some more others, kind of like those other relatives you don't talk about

My walk about armadillo whackin machine


I'm not sure what to call this yet, been putting it together one piece at a time, probably will have a different butt-stock and lower before I'm done.


My John Holliger White Oak NM Service rifle, about 12lbs plus with all the lead I have stuffed in the butt and forearm.
