I showed it to Steven Dodd Hughes and he did an article on it for “Sports Afield” It is a lovely custom rifle made by one of the best in the business… Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is, listening to Texans..John Steinbeck

It is a shortened pre-64 Winchester 22 Hornet action cut to 22 Hornet length. An extremely hard and precise process that few could accomplish. Here it is with a pre-64 Winchester Super Grade and a Sako L46, all in 22 Hornet… Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is, listening to Texans..John Steinbeck
