Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Looking for Gramps's 25-06

I am trying to find dad's custom 25-06, sold by my stepmother about the time dad passed away in Missoula (about 4 years ago, maybe in Billings). It was made in about 1956 by a gunsmith named Groom who worked just out of Missoula, Montana, & dad purchased it from Bob Ward's son-in-law in 1957. (Bob Ward's was still on Higgins Avenue back then for you old Missoulians) Made on a small ring Mauser action & marked 25-06 IMP GROOM on the barrel, walnut stock, Leupold 3 X 9 (as I recall), I have the custom dies,(loading & forming) loaded & empty brass, & know it's favorite loads. I'd like to buy it back to pass on to the grandkids someday, I'll pay you what you paid + $100 if you will sell it back. If you love it like dad did, I'll make you a deal on the goodies if you will give me a 1st call if & when you decide to sell or trade.

Good luck........gl

Wow, hoping you find it Marty and the owner will make you a deal to get it back in the family.

Hope you find it. I've been looking for my dad's rifle for fifteen years with no luck so far.

I gave up looking for all of my Step Dad's rifles. My Mother gave them to some guy with a nice looking face...

put a ad in the local newspaper.
