And I got a new rifle while I was on my hunt. Always wanted a Al Biesen.

More about the rifle please ole buddy

That is the way it goes!!! How about a bit about both rifles??? Was just in Sheridan, think that was Biesen's home area!!!

...and a good wind call, too....😂

PS

Nice deer, good year, and a sexy rifle. 🤜🏼😎

30-06 pre 64 Winchester.

Fred, that old Biesen rifle is not your style... you best send it my way... hell it's probably in some old obsolete caliber like 270WCF

Oh and nice deer Fred... congrats...

Says 30-06 on it not even sure where to find Ammo for it does hornady make any thing I can run through it at a PRS match.

Congrats for being in the right place for that nice buck!

That old classic rifle is beautiful.....I'm not a collector. So, I'm asking from an uninformed background would it hurt the value very much to have a Decelerator recoil pad put on a custom like that?
I'm thinking a sporter weight 30-06 without a pad deals some pain?

Fred that is even worse.... ask Beav about old junky 30-06's.....
Oh and the PRS snobs will look down upon you and maybe even laugh.....
I will volunteer to help you out of this embarrassing situation......

Nice buck. Beautiful rifle. No flies on the ought six, despite rumors to the contrary.

20 years ago a hunting buddy wanted a Sendero in Rem. 300 Ultra Mag, but no dealer around here had one. So he finally settled on that rifle in 300 Weatherby. Worked up some really good loads and was rarin' to go on opening day of buck season. Not sure why he wanted that, since he already had a 40XB in 7mm mag and a 7x300 Weatherby, but WTH?

Set up where he had up to 500 yard shooting opportunities and waited for sun up. Around 8:30, heard a big pa-whump down the valley from where I was. Called him on the radio, asked what he'd gotten. Small buck, as it turned out. Then inquired, how far? Some mumbling and a barely audible "about 65 yards".

Asked if he'd had enough gun, radio went quiet.

It will never change from its current condition.

Even if I purchase a flat billed hat?
It’s the pretty’s rifle I have ever owned.

Sweet rifle. Doesn't get any better than that. As for those saying the 30-06 would be unbearable to shoot with its hard butt plate, I have 2 pre 64 fwt 30-06 rifles and they are gentle shooting with their aluminum butt plates. Not bad at all.... Thanks for sharing

Frud,

Nice buck !

& you do look better in B&W !!!!!!!!!!!

Wow nice rifle for sure! Where did you find it at? And congrats on the deer

Congrats on the buck - looks like a chunk of a deer! Oh and congrats on that rifle, heck of a nice piece of wood on that one.

Id much rather prepare for 800 and shoot 30 than the other way around that lots of folks think about.

NICE buck! Congrats. Good job!

Thanks. I will take the compliment.

Thanks guys.

Beaver can’t hit with a mighty 06. It’s always been a frustration and one I left in my rear mirror 30 years ago. Hello 7mag. 😁😎

Nice buck and rifle Fred...

Well above average on both fronts. Nicely done.

Dave

Congratulations on the deer and especially the beautiful rifle.

Looks like a keeper, hope you have many years of deer tales with it.

Thanks for sharing. 👍

Beautiful rifle and a great buck as well.

That rifle is a stunner though! Hope it serves you well.

Better send that rifle to stick for a paint job

Congrats!

No way!!!!!

Not really, but even if it did it would be nothing compared to the pain of putting a saw blade to an Al Biesen stock.

Biesen worked out of Spokane.

Keep your pants on.

Wife scored!

Way to GO Mrs Frud !!!

Nice bucks. I could see why a guy would want to be set up to take a long shot in that country.

Thanks. Calvin, ya everything Is a ridge away.

Good job Fred...

GREG thanks. It has become a annual trip and to spend time with my wife and amazing friends is absolutely heaven on earth.

way to go Fred and Fredrika !

dig that Biesen

Too late.

fred 3 glad you and your bride had a good hunt congrats

Great pic.

Congrats to you and the Mrs.

Thanks

Cool rifle...nice buck.

Lotsa good stuff going on.....congrats......

I enjoy hunting whitetails in that type terrain. Nice bucks there. Kids got a surplus of elk meat in freezer this fall or I'd be deer hunting vs bird hunting.

Many moons ago I had that issue with a 7mm Rem Mag. Prepped for cross canyon shots and took a buck at abut 5 yds feeding in a drainage. Could actually hear its teeth grinding as I was waiting for the head and neck to lift. Likely, muzzle blast alone would have been sufficient.

About time for cookie to have some ripper buck pictures.
Seems she gets the rut on camera very well and I look forward to it.

Found them https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...es-2019-mule-deer-photo-run#Post14308820

Tell cookie amazing, per normal.

Congrats to you and your wife on the bucks,Fred!

That rifle is really WOW!

I will get some better pictures this evening been running the kids to wrestling boiling dear and elk heads.

I promise I will get some pics with decent light soon.
It is absolutely amazing Al was a true craftsman.

Couplah nice bucks and a bonus Biesen – life is pretty grand right about now. Congrats.

Two nice bucks, Fred - congrats to you and the Mrs.!

Way to go! Nice bucks and beauty of a rifle!

Thanks guys.

Great bucks and rifle. Will that Al Biesen ever hunt?

As for changing the pad, Biesen was famous for his steel butt plate. It makes the rifle extra special, albeit less practical to have one. Therefore a real buttpad would significantly impact value. If I were to hunt with that, i would bolt it in to a Howa or a nice laminate stock.

Great bucks , congrats to you and your wife!

You could rebarrel that to a stainless steel in 6.5 creed more you know!!! 😁😁😁

And a slip on recoil pad, and paint that hideous stock!! 😁😁😁😁

It will hunt one week next year with its twin, a friend owns and then go into hiding until someone wants it more than me and I love it.

Maybe I should get a milquad x6 for it to replace the period correct German Ziess as well. 😂🤣😂🤣😂.

Thanks guys for the kind words.

I was thinking a Tasco 3-9 in silver!

Hey wait I have one of those!!

Is Tasco still around? And thanks again guys.
