Sweet rifle in a classic chambering. Damn nice.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Mr. Goens was one of the 5 best known, top tier post war artisans in the U.S. along with Monte Kennedy, Tom Shelhamer, Al Biesen and Jerry Fisher. He was a premier stocker and one heck of a nice gentleman!!!

Thanks Gents,
The Talleys will be removed and replaced with Leupold DD or SK mounts.

George Caswell from Champlin has always been very easy to do business with.
Based on our having done business quite a bit in the past he is shipping Monday before my check even arrives.

Very nice rifle NY! Pre '64 action, Blackburn metal & custom stock. Add the 7mm chambering which is high on my personal appreciation list, and... great package. Yet, to be honest, the $6K price package seems bit extreme! Hope you bought the gun you wanted, not the story being sold! Thanks for sharing a handsome rifle! Best! John

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I certainly don't think the price was "a bit extreme". Seems to me the market has spoken. I know at least two people that would have gladly paid the selling price. Goens rifles in perfect condition with great wood in desirable calibers have been selling in the mid $5's for at least 10 years. A lot of Goens rifles were put to use, finding one in perfect condition is very rare.
