J. Scott, Rudy may have been a Remington man, but his stockmaking enterprise didn't play any favorites. He made stocks for all guns. His some time headquarters in Sun Valley was a good deal for a stockmaker. I have no idea who the actual craftsman was, but I doubt it was Rudy. Rudy was in residence at the Remington plant at Ilion one time I was there, but we never crossed paths. Some of his guns and paraphernalia including his famous Remington 870 are on display at the National Firearms Museum. Rudy didn't just shoot Remingtons, however. I tried to purchase his Purdey pigeon gun some years ago, but was too late. His son was offering it for sale for a very attractive price.
