Chick Donnelly's equipment was moved from locally here to Arizona about 2006 or 2007. He hung it up about then, right after health issues were slowing him down...
I have several barrels that he did for me when I first moved to Oregon... I've had the honor of sharing a couple of campfires with him while out elk hunting, having a local friend who Elk hunted with him every year and I was invited also...
one little side bar to being around him... I had the opportunity to ask him, a man that could hunt with about any caliber rifle under the sun, on about any type of action under the sun....
his response was pretty simple... " I hunt with a Ren 721 I bought back around the Korean War time, Chambered in a 30/06...I don't recall how many barrels I've shot out on it, but I never saw the need for anything less, or anything more... for anything I ever wanted to hunt, on this continent or anywhere else..."
He showed me the rifle, you could tell it had been around the block a couple million times, and it worn an old 4 power scope on top....
