Thanks Barry- more like the places I've seen as a retired (now) welder-welding got it's roots from the blacksmiths-same distinguished gent " A la Don Ernesto" and a handsome Springer Spaniel guarding his master's domain- Man's best friend- won't sully your good name, pick your pocket or steal your lady-Leonard Mews supposedly custom stocked my "pet" Sako in a Bishop Calif. Claro rollovercheck piece stock- thumbhole grip, Wundhammer palm swell, fits me like an Armani suit-rifle is Acra-Glas bedded, has the older Pachmayr recessed QD's and a black thinline pad- Timney trigger- glad we can appreciate fine rifles and the men who crafted them- years ago, and today-even on a shotgun forum-I appreciate fine shotguns, but where and how I hunt waterfowl gets a bit "down and dirty" so a fine custom double (as for quail or dove hunting) isn't my choice- but for varmint shooting- well like duck hunting- lotsa waiting and watching- and in "less hostile" environments, so appreciating a finely crafted rifle you have in your hands is the best of both worlds- Bless you and the other brothers in your Guild- for keeping the lamp lit for artisans present and future- RWTF
