Tony Boyer's 2nd Teddy that I bought from Speedy. Had Tony autograph both sides of the Lowell Frei painted stock when I bought all of his stuff 2 years ago. Tony said that was the prettiest rifle that he ever owned. He said he paid 425.00 for the paintjob many years ago. Lowell told him that price was a friend's discount price.IMG_4221.JPGIMG_4222.JPG

You have a nice inventory there JimPag, I would never have enough time to shoot em all. But 8lbs of LT-32 now setting here waiting on two new 5lbs 13.5" twist Keigers, in LV contour for some testing.

I took the little 222 DUESH out and tried some 3 shot groups with 52 grn Bibs, I'll be trying 5 shot groups to prove these loads as soon as the wind cooperates. If one proves itself, I'll be shooting it in 2 weeks for a 100 yard group match.

I might just end up with a different keg to use in the 6mm ppc. I just ain't got time Fer a dozen more bench guns.

But this sickness just don't ever get better, I think it's progressing, 2 weeks ago I added a Freedom Arms model 83 in 475 Linebaugh to the family,,, I'll be picking up a BFR in 475 Linebagh tomorrow? Just got done casting for a day, and trying to relax before the single action duel.

New to me tell us more about Mr Hare. Was he from Ft Pierce also? I like to stop at Carter's every so often and have lunch.
Yes, James lived down in Indian River Estates. He was a 'one-man-band' with his shop in the garage and his blueing was done in a back yard shed. I don't know an awful lot about him other than a few stories he told me. I do know that he built PPS's for several shooters during the 80s. He mostly built guns for sharp-shooters in law enforcement and the CIS. The 6mm PPC he built for me was the most amazing rifle I've ever felt, owned, or fired. It's a light weight sporter with an XP100 action and a gain-twist barrel. It wears a 12X Leupold from that era.

I'm not B/Sing when I tell you that the day he delivered my rifle and took me out to shoot it, I put 5 in the same tiny hole at 100 yards, and I never considered myself to be a great shot. Jas was not surprised at how well his build shot, but I think he was impressed with my shooting~! I still have 40 of the original loaded cartridges he gave me

Just don't understand why Jim has so many tuners. Word is that they don't work and he would have only needed one for proof. LOL.
 
I totally understand that. Its a hot time here in S E N C too. Taking my time blowing brass out for my new 6PPC
I'm just burnt out. The competing isn't fun anymore. It feels like a job and when u feel like that, it's time to hang it up. I'll miss most of the guys but that's it because everything else that you have to do before you actually shoot really sucks and the same after it's over. If somebody offer me some serious money for everything I'd sell it all including the motorhome that would go with it. I have a lot of stuff.
