Pics would be appreciated by the single-shot crowd, if you have any handy.


Happy to share a photo. I had visions of using it for elk hunting. But, despite being an excellent shooter (and good looking, as well), its a little heavy to be carrying around in the elk woods.

That’s a handsome rifle for sure, as are the others posted here. I agree with you on the weight, and so do my knees, which have seen better days. “We” are toting lighter ones nowadays for the most part.

Thanks for the pic.

What fresh Hell is this?
