Gorgeous gun Pocano!
There was a 284 of his on GB in the last few years that went relatively inexpensively. I talked myself out of it because it was 284 ... fricken dumbschidt move.
Damn that’s nice!

BobinNH had a Brownell in 7mm Rem Mag, his last custom rifle, IIRC.

I’d grab that Goens rifle for the same money, all day long. That’s a beaut.

He sure did. His son has it now and it’s a looker.

Bob and I compared our Len Brownell 7RM's. Mine is on a Champlin and Haskins action, has Canjar trigger with tang safety. Man I really miss him. When I read old posts where he contributed it brings back fond memories. And I know his KS connection which makes it even more intersting. I never met him but know those who did. Quite a guy. He liked this rifle and I liked his. We both appreciated Len Brownell's special talent; Len did both the metal and wood work on this one. He even made these QD rings which I understand became the prototype for the Kimber rings. This rifle was not easy to scope due to distance between rings and clearance with the quarter rib. This vintage Zeiss did the trick and needs to stay with this gun forever. Not that many scope options and this one works great. Gun's been hunted and shows some dings in the wood. Just adds character. I'm sure Len Brownell built it to hunt, not to be a safe queen. RIP, Bob, you left a mark.

I've seen it, would like to see it again, never get tired of looking at it.

Bob and I had our 7RM Lenard Brownell rifles and great mutual friends. Although I never actually met Bob, I felt like I knew him thru these connections.

I always enjoyed his posts. He was a very intelligent man and a straight shooter (pun intended), not much fluff. What he wrote was always well thought out and to the point.

Like I mentioned earlier, he is missed.
