Please tell me more about your beautiful rifle, did you have this built by Jerry??

No, Jerry made that gun in 1966 or '67 for a Frontier Airlines pilot that wanted a light gun to take sheep hunting. The gun is just under 6 pounds all in and that is done with real wood and steel. No plastic or titanium!

Celeste, Jerry's wife had his log books from being a pilot and asked me if I would want his log books, I told her I would to keep with that gun.

It turns out, he was a B-17 pilot in WWII and the log books were his flying during the war! That is the kind of provenance you just don't find....

Nope, modified Sako L579 action. Milled on the left side to reduce weight and a tang safety replacing the typical side safety of a Sako…
