Back in the mid 90's I had a Tender with a 14 inch bull barrel in 7mm Super Bower, I bought it from Mr. Don one evening when I was over at his house. Super Bower was a good name as it shot super. I lived two streets over from him in Aurora for a couple of years. Had quite a few visits with him. I sold all three of my Tenders and barrels to a a friend when I was stationed in Hawaii when the Encores came out. I still have one of his VHS tapes he made.

Went to a couple of his classes with Mark over the years in Nebraska. I think Mark S. took over the business when he passed on. Gave Don a ride back to his house a number of years ago from one of the shoots. Gawd he was a tough old codger--sure liked him though. Reminded me a lot of my grandfather.

A little late to the dance but in 97 I sent him a 1/14 30 herret barrel to rechamber to 30 Alaskan. I shot many unlmtd imhsa matchs topped with a burris 3x9AO the real kicker was winning the Cascade Challenge 500yd handgun match Body supported positions only now that was fun. I will be reloading for it this week.

Does a 7mm Bellm count?

I had a schnoodle attached for carbine use
It used to be a pistol barrel


think twice, shoot once

I had a BullBerry 6.5 Super Bower. The barrel I regret selling the most of all I ever owned (Over 300 if I had to guess) Also was one of the Coolest looking Cartridges I ever owned
Safe shooting
Doug


Enjoy life but remember, we are only practicing for something better.
