The cover is closed/sealed and will depart for MA very soon.
The intention is to have the drawing toward the end of the month but don't have a specific date/time to announce just yet. (will update) A member (or multiple members) of Bob's family will pull the name from the box. And it'll be captured on video to share here.
Be it initial monies toward getting the build rolling, ticket purchases or generous donations of product/services - we want to thank everyone that's participated. It is rather humbling to be in the company of great folks here and I know it's touched Bob's family tremendously.
Would also like to give specific propers to the following people that donated the following -
Barrel -Ken - Brux Barrels (free-of-charge)
Stock -Mark Bansner - Legendary Arms Works (free-of-charge)
Action/bottom metal -cliff/whitebird (free-of-charge)
Just plain awesome, congrats to all involved for their amazing efforts and for sure, Bob is smiling from up above, seeing the campfire crew come together, thanks guys!
SKane and crew, I don't see how it could have gone any better!
"Great Job" to all that have participated in this project!

Sorry if this has been stated and I missed it, but is the final tally of 6,450 the number of tickets sold or the amount of money raised?
Either way, awesome job on this. I'm sure it will end up an awesome rifle and I'm amazed by those individuals and companies that gave so freely. Truly generous!
