DMc,
Sorry about "ruining" you. Here is link for any that may have missed this rifle a few years ago.

http://www.classicsportingarms.com/?p=656

Just got another two piece stock blank from my cousin and contemplating one last custom rifle. Chambering may be a 7x65R or .280 Ross. I like the "cool factor" of the Ross, but not sure I want to deal with the bullet availability in the .288 diameter.

I did not get to pick up the gun until a couple of weeks ago but the pics really do not do it justice. The rifle was shipped in 1996 with semi fancy wood and AA finish, 26 inch standard octagon barrel in .45 2 1/10. It handles superbly and balances right behind the rear barrel sight. This is going to be my primary hunting rifle.
Here are a few more pics:

DMC,

I have two custom #3s -- a Swede and a 7mm BR. (The latter is currently being redone as a 7mm-08.) I do not have a factory original #3 however; largeley because they make such great doors for light kicking, handy, stalking rifles.

Hello 1B
I don't have an original #3 anymore either. I guess if we did, it outta be a 44 Mag. Here's another "Custom" 45-Thumper-70:

Good Morning Lee.
Your rooster crows mighty early kind sir! I'm thinking you must have a milk cow!
Here's a picture of Lee's 25-06. I was fortunate enough to have had the pleasure of seeing it in person. After fondling it for a few minutes, no other #1 since has had quite the luster. So as they say, "if ya can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch!"
I haven't even looked at another #1 since seeing Lee's. This "porch sitter" believes Ruger needs to stick "El Numero Uno" on their R&D team!

The Stevens 43 is way too cool. I would love to have one of those.


The work was done out of Llano Texas by the late Lornard Storey. Its chambered in 30-06 and is by far the most accurate gun I own, If I do my part can place them inside each other. Interesting legend to this gun is it was being built for Slim Pickens but was not completed before his death.

That bottom Cooper is amazing.


Thanks, it's an early Cooper with exceptional wood. It now lives in TN doing coyote duty. The other Cooper on Kodiak Island doing fox duty. Both are owned by past forum friends who had to put up with just pictures of them posted on-line for years. whistle

Here is my NIB AH 25-06.

I bought it while I was stationed in Spain back in 2008. 5 years later I finally have it.
