Reminds me of the "Band WHO" that sang "I Can See For Miles and MIles"...Something about a rig that has beauty marks from being used, that tells a story about the man who owns it, and the rifle itself.

You'd have to send me your stock. I cut a pattern,(for said stock) then wet-form the leather, then sew it onto the stock.

Curiosity, why a powderhorn with a bolt action rifle?

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Yes, Fred set me on the right path above. It is not one I'm familiar with, as I've only shot at 'yotes while deer hunting. Never bothered with calling them.

Hey Pat. I was at GAP today to pick up my rifle and saw your 6.5 PRC rifle. That is a beauty. Dammit man!
I had Ken to put one together for me. They also had a stock of yours there that had the leather cheek piece that you manufacture. Are you going to put one of those on the new 6.5 PRC?
I have 4 GAP's but they all have Manners T4A and T5A stocks. I need a lighter hunting stock and after seeing yours I NEED one. Are you going to put the leather cheek piece on that stock as well?
As usual, great pics.

LOL. My friend, who got me started sheep hunting years ago, always bought himself a fresh new pair of Levi's before the annual sheep hunt. It was his tradition, and he got 'er done in those blue jeans. wink
