| Nice buck, but the trophy in the photo is definitely the beautiful rifle. I have a couple of Coopers, and a Kimber with french walnut on the way. I get a great deal of satisfaction from hunting with a beautiful and accurate rifle. How does that rifle shoot? |

| DJ, The blank is bastogne and it was expensive. I dont remember how much. It was a challenging stick to work on to say the least with the grain running every which a way but it turned out alright after quite a few hours of intense, nervouse sweating. I do not prefer a 45 degree forend tip, however, this is not my rifle and since the guy in the picture is paying the bills, he gets what he wants. Cobrad - best group from this rifle has been under .40 or something like that. |

| That's my rifle. It's a Pre War, actually first year of production mod 70, three digit serial (#10x), 24in Krieger barrel, Conetrol rings, custom bases, Zeiss Vm/V 3x9 x 42.The blank was $1200.
Oh, and the bitch shoots: it's a 1/4in rifle, shoots one holers all day long.
Bill did a great job on it, the picture doesn't do the rifle justice. |
