Have hunted with all of these, except the No. 1, due to buying it too late last fall to check it out thoroughly before big game season ended. There will come a day when JB's guns will command a premium because he owned them, probably. (But only if he carves his name in the buttstocks with a dull jack knife. Provenance man, provenance!

About the only way I know of to prevent this is to install "pillars." But dunno how many real walnut-fiends allow that--or even contemplate the possibility.... “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

A few years ago, while I’ll was at work, Halloween actually, my wife saw a naked man stealing wood from our wood pile. She slid open the sliding glass door and said; “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?” He turned to her, put his hands behind his head, shook his hips back and forth and yelled; “GETTING ME SOME WOOD”. He got arrested. True story. Liars should have good memories. H. Babcock

Back in 2001 I was introduced to him and his wife Rachel by a friend in Prescott. Had an entertaining breakfast with good stories and then got a tour of his shop. Nicest guy around and built some wonderful firearms. Showed me one of the last remaining Mannlicher Schoenauer factory cutaway demo 6.5x54 guns. He would build 98 Mauser actions from scratch in custom dimensions as requested by the customer, a true master of the craft. His wife Rachel is/was a master engraver and does beautiful work. “Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.” ― G.
