I met Rick Mason at his booth in the ACGG area at the Dallas Safari Club last Sunday and we chatted about rifles and calibers. I admired a .30-06 he had built for himself and he let me know he had a hole in his schedule and would be happy to build me one just like it. After a bit of bantering about what I would like changed for my personal rifle I left after exchanging contact info with Rick. Well we firmed up my project today and I put the check in the mail for a deposit on a .35 Whelen that will built on a 1909 Argentine action modified with a Winchester style 2 position safety, a new engraved bolt handle and rust-blued. It will be mated to a 23" Douglas barrel and stocked in American classic style with shadow-line cheekpiece and a Pachmeyer pad at 14.25" LOP in English walnut. Man, I have two in progress right now and am as nervous as an expectant father... can't wait to get those babies in my hands! 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! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | ||

Hi Russell, Good to see you at DSC. Nothing like deciding to go forward with a new project and the anticipation! I like your choice of caliber with the classic style and looking forward to some pics. I hope to get one of mine done this year as well.. Best, Jim | |||

Wow, life must really be nice as a banker. Is this how the bank invests the money I deposit? Mike | |||

Jim, Great seeing you and your lovely wife in Dallas as well! I look forward to seeing you star in a future episode of TAA!
What deposit? Did you make a deposit? Do you still have a receipt for it? And Forrest, it is an absolute addiction!
