Nice wood. Noticed the extended wood down around the mag box. How many does it hold down?

Jack Hough is, IMO, the ultimate gunmaker in the modern world...I did not know that he was still doing gun work, thought he was making buggys...I have a Jack Hough rifle with an Obermyer barrel, its quit a gun..Danny Beck is a genious of a Smith but your damn lucky you ever saw you gun if you paid him in advance...

Beautiful gun! Can't wait to see the .404!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
