Idaho Sharpshooterremember that old song...?
"I had your love on the tips of my fingers, but I let it slip right thru my hands...".
Thursday afternoon I had the MRC PH action in my fat little fingers for nearly half an hour. MRC sent it air to Ryan Breeding (my neighbor)and he had it at the show Thursday morning. Ed Hubel called me on the cell to let me know, and I had possession twenty minutes later! My gosh, is this thing a beauty. Ed will get an Email from me in a few minutes with the pictures I took. There is the original 3" .577 Boomstick round in several. It measures 3.816" long, and there is nearly another 1/4" of space in the box. Guys, this thing is well worth the wait,
and you are going to see some gorgeous DG rifles built this year. I was about speechless, when Ryan handed me the cardboard box and I opened it up and saw the action!! The box will hold 3 1/2 Gibbs cases, plenty to let you hold the fourth round halfway down and work the bolt. I sat there for ten minutes just babbling about the action and the round I brought. Ryan finally asked me if I had had a stroke or something.
Man, this thing is going to make a great platform for some fantastic DG rifles.
