A much-belated update. The rifle turned out gorgeous! The man is a wizard and would take no money. I’ve tried to post pictures a few times from my phone with no luck. I will figure something out.

Will be taking this rifle out this fall to hunt whitetails in Bolivar, Tennessee. It shoots straight and reminds me every time I pull it out that all hope is not lost. I’m still floored by this “display of humanity”. Fireball, many thanks to you sir. Photos incoming soon.

SRW85, there's an Image Gallery forum where you can upload larger pictures. I think there's still a restriction of 2MB or so, but it handles more.

Glad it turned out good!

Losing someone dear to you while they were out hunting is a hell of a thing. Seems like it happens here in Oregon to some poor guy every year or two. I hunt alot where the oriental fella and his family got stuck in the snow and after a week he left and went for help, only to perish. The family was found soon after. Now they've got winter warning signs up all over and they close the road to the coast each November.

I got hypothermia once on an archery goat hunt in Washington and been in tight spots a time or two but thankfully no bad falls or broken bones. Oregon has some treacherous country and blacktails like it. Sorry about your uncle OP. I felt your pain I guess and wanted to help. Glad you're happy with the rifle.

It seems like a bunch of us are late to this thread. I'm on here almost every day and missed big parts of the thread until now. Has the forum got a malfunction somewhere?

I think SRW just followed up with the happy ending to an old thread. Which he deserves a thank you also. Several years ago I guy cried and cried about 22HP stuff. I sent him a bunch on my dime, and he never posted again. This follow up is the kind of stuff that keeps this family together.


I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.
