When I was in college in 1967, I dreamed over a Gun Digest issue to the point to the point I wrote to Dale Goens and Winston Churchill asking as to their price of stocking and engraving a custom rifle. Being poor as a church mouse, there was no way of course. Sadly, I never persued this. It pains me to think back that at that time, I could have purchased a custom stocked rifle of the best French walnut and engraved by Winston Churchill for less than $1000. I ran across the letter from GOens just the other day. The work of both of them to this day strikes me as the perfection in style of what I want in a rifle.
