Just a warning. Be very careful on this site. It can make you very discontented!
Just a few weeks ago I was happy with my rifles and shotguns. I was blissfully unaware that my life was incomplete. Oh I was thinking I might need a better .22, a nice single shot perhaps. Then I found this site and Michael started posting pictures of his vintage sporters.
I've always admired the G&H type Springfield sporters, especially a particular 7x57 that John Amber had. In a moment of weakness I remembered a friend had a nice double heat treated '03 Springfield action and I innocently wondered outloud if JD might like to make a G&H style Springfield sporter.
It has been slippery slope since then. A few talks with JD, some really nice stock wood, and a casual mention that I might consider a bit of engraving. Naw, I really don't need engraving. ---- Do I? Next thing I'm doodling possible designs and, all of a sudden I'm exchanging emails and phone calls with Ken Hurst.
I don't actually remember doing any of this. It just happened. And now I feel a need for a low wall .22.
Beware.
