Was out in the shop, re-cutting the checkering on the pre-64 stock while JES is turning the barreled action into a .358 Win.

That beats getting eaten up by mosquitoes trying to clean up Laura debris in my yard.

My bud's hunting property on the Red River was devastated by the storm. Trees down everywhere, box stands smashed, food plots a mess, roads to food plots blocked by multiple downed trees. He as a track hoe working but not sure it'll be up and running for hunting season. No telling how long before he gets power. Sad state of affairs.

Dies, brass and bullets are ordered. May or may not get to deer hunt with it this year. We'll see.

Haven't ordered CEB yet. Will wait for now. Going with 180 Speer (already have for another bud's 35 Rem), 200 Horn SP and will try some pistol bullets. I have a selection of those for my .357's and 10mm's...

Three scope options.
