PalmerPHILLS 300 H AND H
300 H&H that Ralf Martini built - Photos posted for Phill. Phill please tell us about it.
ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS
Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

ChopperGuyWoW! Very nice and a lefty to boot.
First a REALLY SWEET lefty 6.5 on the Euro board and now this!
Link to 6.5 LeftyI don't need to see such GREAT left handed rifles in fantastic calibers.
Makes me real jealous

phill pittmanThanks again for the post Allen.It's nice for a low tech to have a high tech friend. This is on a MRC action has 4 panel checkered bolt with a clover leaf on the bottom and matching engraving on a Heilman trapdoor cap. 24in barrel with talley bases and barrel band. Flat top english style checkering dn English walnut and Rechnagel sights.Got two caribou bulls in the only two shots fired at game and now I have it for sale to pay for more projects.
That is gorgeous! And the bolt is on the correct side!

Gave me a warm fuzzy feeling while looking at it !.

DemonicalNasty looking wood. Looks like it's water stained or something...
Couldn't you get something with a straighter grain?
Absolutely beautiful and in such a classic chambering. WOW!

MikelravyAllen is just full of pictures of outstanding guns lately. I'd like to hear a little more about this one.

phill pittmanClayman- Its on Martini gunmakers site for $4700 but there is a deal pending. If your still interested and the deal doesn't go through I'll contact you. It also has neat little matching engraving on the rear sight flats. There's no way you could get such a gun made by a guild maker for that price as most semi custom, no engraving, Dakota type guns will cost more. I don't think I have fired over 20 rounds throuh it.Problem is I'm a gum whore of near Rays proportions and once something is done I tend to mve on to another project.Actually I have About 3 on the go.

ForrestBThe pending deal is with a friend of mine in San Antonio.
It sure is a nice looking rifle. This might be the first time I ever wished I was a lefty.

ChopperGuyWow, glad I didn't know it was for sale. (Or maybe I wish I had).
That would have put a dent in the gun fund, but what a great way to spend some gun $$.

scruffy Yo, Phill ! You should have used that rifle when we had that bet on who could shoot the guinea fowl in the head . The beast would have walked closer to see that fancy wood and

AtkinsonYou sure make it hard to trade, with all those bolts on the wrong side..Nice rifle for sure.
BTW, I have a pattern stock to exactly match that one. Took it from an old Holland and Holland..Ya gotta love it, and it sucks up recoil like a sponge contrary to some of the ideas among the modern set of smithys..

phill pittmanI like those kind of stocks cause they just feel good and seem to feel lighter than they actually are.I guess I'm a minimalist when it comes to rifles ,just don't like carrying around extra wood.
