Spectacular an so many levels! A rifle like that, with the accompanying back story is bound to be possessed with good spirits. Just being in the woods with it has to bring a smile.

As beautiful as the rifle is, the backstory adds another dimension. Thanks for sharing it with us and congratulations on a beautiful rifle.

I love the rifle. I even love the long stock, it looks like a classic English stalking rifle.

Thanks again guys. The closest I've come to killing anything with it yet was to flop down prone at a doe running way up a hill in January. There was just no shot there unfortunately. As soon as work slows down here soon I'll get a set of talley swivel studs inlet.
