Came darn close to pulling the trigger on such a build with Roger Green a bit ago. Some day it will get built.

Tony, details on your .280 man!! grin


It's built on one of 50 small ring actions Pete Grisel made before he started his work with Don Allen to lead to what became Dakota Arms. The wood is California English. The rifle was built by Roger Green as a lightweight mountain rifle for the original owner. I am the second owner. Mr. Green's work is absolutely flawless.
