As eluded to with the first one for Matt, per request of some generous forum members, we were planning for a second project for a active duty Forum member, who has returned from a tour in Afghanistan not long ago....
One second gift of Appreciation for our servicemen, is Wahunterinrok, aka Brent...
What we are going to put together is a Remington 700 Action, in a Mountain rifle style configuration... chambered in a 7 x 57, with a Leupold or Redfield 2 x 7 on top, and a Bell & Carlson Stock....
So this is going to be labeled Project Brent....
Some folks have already made donations when they made donations to project Matt...
Whoever got Rick to make Matt's Project a sticky, could they also do the same for this one...
once again, all who desire to contribute to one of our own who is finally home from serving our country in harms way, PM me for the address to send contributions and donations to..
best regards
john chr.

I Pm'd Rick for you Seafire! I'll bet he is at SHOT and will do it as soon as he can.

So where are you at on this one as opposed to Project Matt? Just wondering where the funds are more needed?

Mink,
Matt is pretty much taken care of, with the exception of the logistics and stuff all coming together now...
I wanted to get that one squared away, before starting this one for Brent...
I didn't want to get any "wires crossed" on the two...
the older I get the simpler I like to keep things..
as said in the movie Philadelphia.. " so simple a 5 year old can understand it"...

I hope you received my money order for Matt. I will be shipping another money order off this weekend.
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

My check is going in the morning mail. I am glad to see the project is going to be a 7x57, one of my favorites. I really like this method of thanking some of our deserving young veterans.

Money was really tight the last time around and I felt guilty as sin for not contributing. Things are slightly better now. Please PM me the address, and who to make the money order out to and the check's in the mail. Thanks for giving us a chance to help out.

Awesome to see this.. makes me proud to be a member here. I will try to find a way to get funds sent from afghanistan as well. is Western Union a option or if a member has a paypal account and is willing to send a check on my behalf I would be glad to shoot a paypal over for Brent and for my hunting partner Matt's rifle.

gophergunner no need to feel guilty at all! We do what we can when we can. Just PM Seafire for the address. He tries to check this frequently but sometimes doesn't see all the requests.
