Hi 451, one very nice looking rifle.

sadly it has a couple thousand very warm CHeetah loads down the barrel and is starting to show signs of throat erosion, accuracy is starting to decline. My brass supply (Rem .308 BR) is declining as well. Time to move on to a different caliber.

Sure does have a Purdy stock.......

Stock maker was Mike Cross out in New Mexico, he along with the gunsmith that built the rifle have both passed away. Same gunsmith also built my 375/338 Browning BAR Safari.

Reminds me of my ex.

 

[451_Detonics]

not too shabby for what Mike considered working rifle walnut...

 

[GunSlinger]

would make for a good looking Indiana deer rifle...

Wow, if only I had that rifle and you had a feather in your tighty whities we'd both be tickled silly

 

[maansmit]

There are exceptions of course but man it is getting tough out there.

Truth.

 

[maansmit]

Yes it is.

That will be rather sporty.

Drinking a cran-raspberry seltzer water and watching gun videos on youtube. The most annoying thing ever is that first 30-second or so promo that EVERYONE has at the beginning of their video. I hate that ****.

And I'm hoping that if I keep digging through the same tool drawer long enough, I'll find my wee utility knife. It's a Snap-on push-button utility knife that's about the size of a small pocket knife.

Like this one only about 3" long

 

[Snapdragon]

Woohoo, kitchen toolbox FTW!

 

[GregD]

Glad you found it. Now do you remember why you needed it?

 

[Snapdragon]

Yep, I'm laying linoleum in my mom's bathroom. I like the smaller knife for the more precise relief cuts.

How I spent some of my morning. Among the rockets......

Race car restoration shop that a few of my old racing buddy's work in. The cars all have history.
