Brent, there is a lot of very nice work out there. Even the well know makers turn out a rifle now and then that's IMO far above and over the top of the rest. I've most likely handled a couple hundred Griffin & Howe rifles and one day I pick one up and it about floored me, no engraving, just wood and rust blue metal. Everything came together on this rifle. I was at an auction and bid money I did not have so it's seems others saw the same thing. If that rifle EVER comes up for sale I'll have to go visit my banker.

I have had the same experience with G&H rifles. I bid on one at a country auction last year. It was more rifle than any G&H guns that were presently on the market at sensible prices. I bid accordingly and was soundly outbid by more than one bidder in the crowd of similarly impressed buyers.

Ken Dave is thinking about it. We need to let peole we know to log on here. Whitey

Dave, if you are counting heads, I'm all for a single shot or "classic rifle" forum on this site.

Brent

I love single shots.....classic rifles are pretty cool too!

I always thought "classic rifle" = single shot rifle. But Michael seems to be determined to prove me wrong.

If he, and Steve, and Glenn, and Doug and Ken keep posting pictures like these, two things will happen,

1. Folks will begin to flock to such a forum.

2. I will go broke

I would like to add a cautionary note to all this. If we are lucky enough for Dave to create a classic and SS rifle forum we must be careful not to import all the problems of the ASSRA over here. I would respectfully suggest that those battles be fought there and not here.

Under the heading of something you don't see everyday. A Remington Walker from the collection of Mr. Anonymous.

Well, since I suggested that this site also host a SS rifle/classic rifle forum ---- I wholeheartedly add my support to this proposed newforum. I know that many of my shotgun clients from this board also love Classic rifles and are crossover shooters. Yeah Mr. Dave, what do you think about widening the membership ? Ken

It’s never too early to think about Christmas and for those who are searching for that perfect gift for me, this rifle will be at auction in October, Hint, Hint.
