Mainer,
I here you on the handiness of a thin rifle in a saddle scabbard. My mother who is gone now, remembered her daddy referred to it as his “big gun” ..
I am not sure what others he had as I was pretty young when he passed and the few others were disbursed. This one came to me many years later from an uncle who wanted me to have it, much to the chagrin of a few others.
I have the rifle and also a picture of my grandfather with the rifle and a nice mule deer he shot with it. It’s dated 1928 but not sure on the location. I believe it is near Tensleep Wyoming.
Anyway, enough about mine. Yours is a wonderful rifle and all around setup. Very nicely done. Makes me contemplate more on doing one in 9.3x62.
Take care, Les
