Nope...just the one. Between wood, barrel, action and finish, and least three different pros had their hands on the piece before it was all put together. Then my friend went out and first thing he did was accidently run it into a barbed wire fence (slightly). But, that's the kind of guy he is - he got over it. It put it together to hunt with style, and a hunting with it he went.

That's my kind of guy! Keep them as nice as you can but at the end of the day it's a tool meant to be used.

This one was built by Classic Rifle Company. I don't know much about him/them. But from what I was told the man that did this one has/had the big C. The company may have folded afterwards. He built 2 of these and mine is 1 of the 2. I was told he kept the other for himself.

Here's my Stevens 44 1/2 in .22 LR. It will be headed to CPA in the near future for a new barrel and breech block fitting so that I can use a centerfire to hunt deer with great-grandpa's rifle. grin

A Martini Cadet in .223 with Bob Snap's rimless extractor, bushed firing pin, and a new scope mount setup (the old one fell off when he test fired the rifle) The wood was reshaped with nice lines by Jim Katzung (it had looked like a 60's Weatherby with a 2x4 for a forearm). One before , three after photos.
Fun little carbine.

Looked for a good while for the K1 in 7mm-08. Couldn't find a Stutzen so I added a K1 in 9.3 x 74R in the stalking rifle.

Not yet. Hope to bloody it the next time I go to my lease(1 to 2 weeks). Hill country hoglets make the perfect test medium for rifles and bullets. Not only that, they make excellent table fare.

Some very nice firearms shown above!

Here's my single shots. Ruger #1 on right, .280 Rem, purchased used. (On left is my M77 in 7mm RM.)

This one is an Ithaca Model 49 in .22LR I picked up used a year or so ago. Replaces the one I had as a kid and let get away.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

As much as you guys love your single shots, I had to kick the Luxus out of bed

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.

This is my #1 270.... also purchased from Leonard Storey, the same person 10 pointer bought his from (see page 12), in Llano, TX. It was his personal rifle, he was terminal and selling some of his guns when I came across it in his shop. Had wanted one for over 20 years !!! Have been looking for other owners of this man's work for a long time, now. An old gentleman from Burnet actually did the stockwork out on his backporch. Freehanded. Quite the artist. He was a WWII vet. Anybody else have one ??? Most are on Mausers.

Bob



I don't remember exactly where, but I saw a 7.62x39 K1A with nice wood, and almost bought it, but missed out. Nothing traditional about them, but it's a appealing combo, and a bit off the beaten path. Looks like yours is a really good shooter. What bullets do they prefer?



The caliber just seems made "to shoot"...

As far as what "bullet" it likes...don't know. I bought several cases of Lapua 123 grain loads and never plan on shooting anything else in it. Every time I pull the trigger I actually make money as the once fired brass sells for more than I paid for the loaded rounds.

Don't know if it is "porn" but here is my K95 in 7x57R. I haven't figured out how to post the actual pic yet. Second, octagon barrel is a 30/06.

George;
That's indeed a fine looking rifle and I'll bet it's a dream to carry as well.

Drop me a PM sometime and we'll see if a couple of older canines can't figure out how to get a photo posted for you.

Thanks very much Dwayne; PB changed their format some time ago and short of chants, incantations, and spreading ashes of charred bat guano over the key board under a full moon, I've tried everything I can think of. cry laugh

I'll probably PM you tomorrow night.

At least I am not the only one having this problem. What was a simple one click move now takes 4 steps, just to make things easier.

I use Photobucket also. For awhile you could select using the old style. Maybe you still can?
