Very nice find! None of us believe you could escape the Southern without buying something

Mills I have been going to the Southern for almost 15ys and have always left there with at least one gun usually two. This year was the bonus year in that afterwards I scored on the BHE 20 32 inch gem. It was well worth the financial scramble

Rich, that gun really needs a nice leather covered pad.

Your right Dean. It also can use to have the checkering recut as it's pretty worn. My smith's checkering tool is out for a rebuild (thankfully he got the rifle checkered first) so then I'll do both tasks. She is light and lively. Maybe I'll take her to the Wisconsin shoot next weekend and do "the grouse walk" with her just to try her out.

Maybe I'll call her Frannie??

The new Geouse Walk at Ernies looked very interesting. I wanted to try it out, but didnt get the chance.

I heard the same thing as Dean. There is a grouse walk at the Wisconsin shoot next week that's very nice. IIRC there are five stations as you walk past the station you get either a true pair or report pair trappers choice. it's a very fun game.
