I do not know the details, but apparently RIP has suffered some sort of head injury. I do not know the seriousness of the injury, but...
I have it on good authority that RIP in his semi-conscious state has finally admitted that CZ hogbacks kick more than American stocks.
I see this as a positive sign and please do not hold it against RIP that, preceeding this physical injury induced revelation, he persisted in this long time reluctance to admit the truth.

Actually I was appraised that it happened in Central Kansas where he collapsed after eating several Totoburgers at a Dorthy's fast food restraunt.....some clown in a lion suit said he'd be fine.

Lies, all lies. I can't help it if Sissy Will gets an owie when he even looks at a hogback.
Actually, I was hoping to have a copy of the hogback to fit the Dakota 76 stainless African action, made up in well laid out Circassian walnut, with only slight modification to turn the cheek piece into a shadow line egg-with-a-hump (lose the trailing angle, like JCN did with his tiger-striped hogback), and get rid of the schnabel on the forend, replaced with a buffalo horn, ebony or rosewood tip. Then a grip cap trap for spare sight equipment (Talley peep and spare foresight), and a leather covered Pachmayr decelerator installed to 14.25" LOP.
Then I will see if I can get a custom fiberglass/graphite/kevlar stock to match the contours of the custom walnut hogback, to weigh in at 1.0 to 1.5 pounds.
Forend mounted swivel base, no barrel band except on the front sight, no rear open sight.
Stainless Lilja fluted barrel chambered in .375/404 as a shameless homage to Saeed's African Sheep Rifle.
Dakota 76 African Hogback. That is my dream.

No way RIP could suffer a "head injury" thats impossible!! I knew the minute Will said head injury something smelled fishy, come to think of it so does RIP!
I do know that sometime back Will took a blow to the head and it crossed up the nerve ending in his eyes with the nerve ending in his butt and since that time he has had a shitty outlook on life, thus some of his posts!
Perhaps I shall now go hide out until after New Years...I will keep a horse tied out back should they decide to visit this poor child....

Is the medical term for this crossed nerve ailment called "opti-recta-titis" ? Seems to be of pandemic amounts here in Alaska at this time of year (short on daylight) - Get well RIP (or is it Will?) - KMule

Not even close, Zero Drift, other than the action in chrome moly instead of stainless. Everything else about that gun is all wrong. Especially the lack of the Humpty Dumpty cheek piece. Sorry, no cigar.
PS: Pondoro's ghost finally relented and agreed that the BSI was better than the TKO.
