Years ago I read "Aagard's Africa". I recall stories of him hunting with a peep sighted pre-64 model 70 in 375. Anyone know if this was a straight comb or humped comb stock? Thanks Matt Matt FISH!!

In Finn's writings he replaced the standard Model 70 stock with a Winchester made Super Grade stock which he had bedded to his rifle. | |||

Is that the rifle Berit shot at the Hoot&Shoot? | |||

Yes. While I did not shoot it, I held it and examined it. It is one of those rifles that talks to you. Berit was my scorekeeper at that event BTW, and a very classy lady. | |||

That is the rifle and the lady is Finns wife I'm pretty sure..Finn was somewhat of a do it yourself gunsmith and he used a huge amount of glass to cover the bolt crossbolts on that rifle, I would recognize that rifle anywhere.

I fired that rifle too. It was almost a religious experience just getting to touch it. When the offer came to shoot it I almost had a cardiac event! It shoots good! Andy B We Band of Bubbas N.R.A Life Member TDR Cummins Power All The Way Certified member of the Whompers Club | |||

Wow, I never thought she would age. She looked like she was in her 20s forever. My mother in law (and wife of course) have a similar complexion and look as Berit. My mother in law finally shows her age, but it took her 65 plus years to do it. | |||

Any idea when & where the photo of Berit was taken? Finn was one of my favorite writers and I have also enjoyed some of Berit's writing too. Roger ___________________________ I'm a trophy hunter - until something better comes along. *we band of 45-70ers* | |||

The pictures of Berit were taken at a range south of Houston in April of 2010. The event was the Hoot and Shoot. | |||

Those events were a lot of fun. It is long overdue to have another one. We Band of Bubbas N.R.A Life Member TDR Cummins Power All The Way Certified member of the Whompers Club | |||
