Machine work and finish were very good, & his test targets contained tiny little groups!! I would like to know more about him too. Last edited by 300MAG; 02/10/14.

Talked to Nathan for awhile on the phone about doing some customizing to my 7600 Whelen and he was a pleasure to talk to. He really knows how to turn a pump gun into a work of art.

Great guy too. WWP53D

Both came out beautifully, and shot very well. If I could only find the need for another, he would have it right now. Great guy, great work, great end product.

Its diet consists of R22 and 100gr TSX's. It's more than a little garish Scott. I'll take it off of your hands to save you further embarrassment. In fact, I'll take it in lieu of whiskey as per our previous discussion off-line. Your welcome. If you're not burning through batteries in your headlamp,...you're doing it wrong.

Specially handling all of the different stocks on the rifles in those pictures, really helped to get a feel for the design differences from the different mfg's. God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy...
