I was just in Epps yesterday. Epps conversions or builds don’t come up too often, but there are some nice pieces out there. A buddy of mine was just telling me about an Epps marked .240 Weatherby that he acquired almost 20 years ago. Says it’s a shooter! The store is different from my youth but still a great place. They could do without the angry kid with a giant wood hoops in his ears at the front counter but otherwise it’s probably one of the better shops in Ontario for knowledge, parts and service. I’ve always had good dealings with the Winkles. Whoever said the place is a black rifle shop is waaaayy off the mark. They certainly sell black rifles and parts but it’s far from the core business, which is and always has been a hunting and sport shooting shop! If you want a real Canadian original, you’d want a .303 Epps improved custom!
