Darn. I forgot but Bill sold me the Springfield action that Steve Durren used to make my new, beautiful rifle. It is a 30-06 (of course) with a California english walnut stock from a blank sold by the Richter's (Quaking Aspen) with a 24" barrel, Jaeger sidemount and Lyman 48 receiver sight. The 48s staff stores in the butt stock under the trapdoor butt plate. The stock is modeled after a Griffen and Howe sporter from the '30s with a point checkering pattern. The rifle is beautiful. The pictures Steve posted a few months ago are good but really don't do it justice. And slick. It will feed a whole magazine of empty cases without a hiccup. A double heat treated Springfield'03 makes as fine a sporter as any action there is. By the way, if anyone is interested, I believe Steve has another high number action on hand. Oh and you should see the Krag carbine hog rifle he made. I hope he'll post some pictures of the finished rifle.
