Elmer Keiths Rifles?
Anyone have any photos of Elmer Keiths rifles.

I am trying to figure out his stock design, and was hoping to look at a couple of them.

I don't know where you live, but there is an Elmer Keith display at Cabela's in Boise. Seems there are 25 or more rifles that he owned, all of them very cool stuff.

Yep. Including a lot of his pistols and revolvers, and shotguns on exhibit, plus ol' Elmer himself, sitting at his writing desk, surrounded by many of his trophies, pictures, talking about his development of the .44 Magnum. Also about his "600 yard shot" with the .44 mag., killing a wounded deer.

If you're in Boise, you should see the exhibit at Cabela's. It's worth the time.
