[QUOTE="MW204, post: 2803621, member: 118876"] I don't have a lot of pics of the rifles I've made nor of the one I had made in1980 but I ran across an old pic today that shows not only a young me, but a true trophy buck for the region I was hunting, Lampasas, TX. Those bucks racks then were normally described as pencil racks and maybe10-12" wide. The game warden told me the buck I shot was the best he had seen in about 5 years. I took it with the only custom rifle I ever had made, which was around $1200.00 in 1980. Idk what that would be in today's money, (I looked it up this morning-Thursday-and today's value would be around $4,643.00) but I could have bought a lot of rifles in 1980 for $1200.00, but it's what I wanted and I got it from a man who used to build rifles from a company called Ranger Arms if any of your are familiar with that company. Wished I still had that pickup, some of that hair, that's my only bought custom rifle, and it'd be nice if I had a few of those years back, but being blessed as I am, I'm still here, I have the buck on the wall, my daughter has the rifle that she always called my zebra rifle, so 3 out 4 ain't bad. PS: dang I wished I could bend my knees like that again too. [/QUOTE]
