"Nearly Perfect Rifle Battery" Raffle

Customstox"Nearly Perfect Rifle Battery" Raffle
I am offering a 4 gun set of Winchester Model 70 Super grade Rifles for raffle with Saeed’s generous permission. The tickets are $20 each and there are a total of 500 tickets.
The set of rifles was made available to SCTP (Scholastic Clay Target program) teams by Midway USA. More on SCTP bit later. Midway had Winchester create these sets of rifles and from my understanding they are not available to the general public outside of these raffles. The set is called the “Nearly Perfect Rifle Battery” and the calibers are .375 H&H, .300 Winchester Magnum, .270 Winchester and .22-250 Remington. They have upgraded matching wood. One person will win all 4 rifles. At the completion of the raffle, the set will be shipped postage paid via registered mail to the FFL of choice of the winner.
Payment will be by certified check. Have the check made out to WASCTP. Mail to C Worthing, 3020 Conarty Road, Malaga, WA 98828 and I will return your numbered ticket to your mailing address.
The proceeds from this raffle will be used in two ways. Half of the funds will go to our endowment fund at Shooting Trust org and the other half will be used for our operational funds for travel, ammunition and registration fees for our shooters.
Here are several photos of the actual set that I have in hand.
INFO ON SCTP:
SCTP is an organization formed to introduce young men and women from grades 12 and under to the clay target shooting sports. It is a nationwide organization and the coaches are all volunteers who receive no pay for their work. We coach our shooters in skeet, trap and sporting clays and instruct them in the sports as well as safe gun handling.

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

CustomstoxMike, that was what I was thinking about instead of drawing. To be honest, I don't know where the action was made. I assumed the US.
27 June 2012, 19:14
CustomstoxThank you. Please make sure when you do send a check that it is a certified check as mentioned in the details.

JarrodCan we just send a money order?

If it's done that way, I'm in.

CustomstoxJarrod, I will need to check with the post office. Problem may be in sending it to an organization instead of a person.

Hunt4Can you give us an update?

CustomstoxThe drawing held about 2 hours ago at a board meeting at my local gun club. Not all of the tickets were sold so I could not use the stockmarket numbers to arrive at the winner so we just drew a stub out of a cardboard box. The winner is a member here and I won't give his full name but he lives in Peyton Colorado. It is a small town and I have left him a phone message.

Thanks for the call today!
I am excited beyond belief, what a great battery of rifles and on top of that I am a huge M70 fan.
These rifles are going to a great home, they will be shot, handled, hunted and cleaned regularly like rifles should be.
I'm sure my 2 sons will have as much fun with them as I will.
Thanks again for the opportunity to buy a raffle ticket to help out the young men and women of your organization.

From what I have seen here on AR, I agree 100%.
Congratulations Snellstrom.

OrvarAwesome!

DLSIf you're doing this again next year, I think you'll have better luck selling all the tickets if you give it a bit more regular publicity on here. I never noticed this thread till now, and I imagine there are plenty of others who didn't either. Post it up in more forums, especially the African hunting forum.
Congratulations to Snellstrom, one of the good guys!

CustomstoxThat was my intent. I could not put it on multiple locations on here but Saeed was going to get it done so I could but we could not connect.
