Good Memories, Fine Rifles, Good friends

#31 Superior Rifle, Dryden NY, Ross Sherman's personal rifle

Superior Rifle #7, Old Yeller 3rd, 22 PPC smithed by F. Sinclair

My good friend Bud Morse, who paid for half of this rifle when I was funds short, for my daughter, Paige. Her first target is the one on her left.

I found these photos while I was looking for old hunting photos. My friend Bud is now in nursing care, a WW2 vet now 90 years old. Paige is in college. The rifle is in my care now. And I really want #31....

Snert -- Thanks for posting. This would make a good "Sunday GunDay" feature story for the bulletin. I would like more details on the range and rifles. Let me know how I can best communicate. We need 6-7 photos, 700 words, and (if possible) a 1-minutes cellphone video.

Great story and yes, memories to hold onto. Good looking folks and the rifle also.

Snert, that rifle is amazing looking. Hard to beat a friend like that. God bless him.

Yes, it is. Not very stable, but at 50 yards to the target backer it made for many fun introductory shooting lessons, lots of scope adjusting, many test firings, and many memories with my friend.

Just last night I was looking at some pictures of the only deer hunt I got to go with my father. A few tears and lots of smiles looking at pictures from long ago.

Snert -

Howdy !

“ Uncle Dudley “ ‘smithed a lot of great bench guns, and varmint rifles.
I was blessed to have him just 6mi away, and he did some great rifle work for me; back when that was his livelyhood.

Wonder whether Tom Meredith did the stock on the Sinclair rifle, as he was working there in the latter -70 s ?
