The guy I was hinting at was also a trapper for the state but his real claim was building rifles. Harold Broughton was his name, he passed away but his son build a fine rifle also, he’s building me a 204. I’ve still got a 6.5-06 his dad built me over 40 years ago.

Looks like beautiful workmanship.
