Beauty, and the family connection is even better. Don't ever sell it.

That's a beautiful rifle Ralphie. Your grandfather would probably be very happy to see that it goes hunting-----------and is still in the family. A rifle like that packs big medicine.

Ralphie,
Great pic with a wonderful family heirloom. I'm sure you will treat it right and pass it on.
I've got 2 Fwts. myself (7x57)and enjoy them both. Will take one to So. Dak. if our group gets lucky with the draw.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

Thanks for the compliments. My grandfather and I were pretty close. This rifle is my most prized earthy possession. I hope to pass it on to my son someday. He might have to wait until I croak to get it though. It's killed several antelope and some cow elk with me now. 160 NPs.

When you get a chance I would like to see some more pictures of your rifle. The one with more light like the first one is what I mean.
What a rifle. A Biesen no less!
All guns should be locked up when not in use!
