In the books

[Don McDowell]

Ain't got much of either left.

[Kurt]

Dats why I want to do it now while you still have some left.

[Don McDowell]

probably used up about 7 lifetimes of luck, winning that rifle... Hope to see how it shoots in a day or two.

[Lumpy Grits]

Way to go Don
That rifle will mean more and more as time goes by.
Look'n forward to a full report--

P.S. Buy some lotto tickets on the way home-----

[Don McDowell]

Thanks Gary, it is a very special rifle to be sure and certain. I will have it up and running soon, and it will be on the line at next years Nationals.

[Kurt]

Don.

Maybe next shooting season there will be two of those east coast parlor guns on line shooting side by side.

If you would Don, I would like to see some close up's on the action and the sights.
That stock configuration looks like what they call the Varmint configuration.

[Don McDowell]

What you mean maybe?????
Next year buddy we're going to do this thing, as it will likely be the very last one, if the numbers don't come up, unless they do something stupid like try to hold it at Perry or such.[/u]

[Kurt]

How many did they have on the roster Don?

[Don McDowell]

It stayed pretty close to 43 . Might have been a couple more for the Creedmoor, but some didn't stay for the Creedmoor and just shot both legs of midrange.

[Kurt]

Well next year maybe I can make it. I had plans on it for this year but I just could not make it. I just could not just walk 100 yards with out getting winded and had to go down to my knees to keep my legs from shaking and catch my breath walking in my back yard. I even had to cancel out my Buffalo hunt this year.
