Absolute Work of Art

Montana truck gun I brought back from the rancher for a little TLC. Will update this winter when I get it done.

I have considered building him another rifle and just put this one on my wall in the living room. It just doesn't get any better.

Ya well you haven't looked at the inside of a work truck that lives on a farm or ranch. The out side is the cleanest part as it gets rained on every now and then.

Bush the bolt. Done!

Pressure wash it and put it back in the truck for another 5 years.

Most people have no idea how dirty the inside of a farm truck can get. I've seen a lot of rifles that looked like around here.

Love the "patina".....That's priceless, probably a tack driver.

That is actually a pretty normal looking truck gun for Montana.

it may not be pretty, but does it shoot??

Yes......it "shoots". I ran about 30 rounds through it at prairie dogs. A couple died. Not sure if the cause of death was from trauma or laughter. It was hard to see anything definitive through the scope.

As a young man I carried a 10/22 in a cardboard scabbard on a John Deer Tractor mowing Hay fields. That rifle looks great. Lol
