Santa Came early
Got two new toys last week.

The top: 416 Rigby done by Patrick Holehan on a Dakota action. Custom bases and rings based on the Warne Premiere line.
The bottom: 375 H&H on a c. 1950 transition (Cloverleaf) Mod 70 done by Kevin Weaver. I had him copy the Holehan rings/bases set up.
Both rifles carry Krieger barrels. I've got a Swaro 1-6x30 on the Rigby and a Leupold on the 375. Now for some range fun.








There are two types of people in the world: those that get things done and those who make excuses. There are no others.
