Guys, Just took delivery on my latest, and most likely last, custom rifle. I haven't shot it yet, but I think it is my best one since my old Miller .270. The blank is one I bought from Jim Bisio several years back. I had no intention of coming home with a blank, particularly an expensive one, but when I saw this one, I had to have it. Bruce Farman did all the metal prep and finishing, and the stock, of course, is by Gary Goudy. It is a pre-64 Model 70 action with a .300 Win Mag barrel made and chambered by Danny Pedersen. I'll get you guys a range report when I have time to get it to the range. Enjoy. TT

I really like the lines on that stock.

Do Gary's stocks all follow that same pattern? It looks very usable in form.
