One my prized possessions

[Eric Leonard]

Rifle Daddy left me when he died July 14 2020
Sako A1 6 PPC with 40x LCS scope.

Target is one he shot about 10 years ago with 27.5 133 and 68 Berger.

I don’t guess I’d take ten times what it’s actually worth

Beautiful rifle, and sorry for your loss. Nice that you have something so nice to remind you of your dad.

Certain things are priceless and more so when they are also beautiful!

Sorry for your loss. I lost mine in 1987. He wasn't a target shooter just a hunter and fisherman. He taught me to hunt and fish. I have very fond memories of those times. His deer rifle was a 30-30 Winchester Model 94, open sights. He took 18 bucks with it in the "big woods" of central PA.

Hope your dad's rifle brings back pleasant memories for you.

Take Care and God Bless.

My older brother has his deer rifle. 1968 Model 70 300 Win Mag with 4x Redfield scope.

Beautiful rig. I couldn’t help notice the scope rings. Is there a reason for the height?

That's a beauty sir!! Great to see you taking such great care of it too. Good on you partner.

I sure don't have to ask you what you're thinking of when you pull it out to clean it or put a few rounds down range with it...... probably the same things I think of when I clean or take a walk with grandpa's, dad's, and one of my uncle's firearms. WD

I have some wooden stocked rifles from my days competing XTC Matches that my dad finished the stocks on. I don't think I will ever let them go...

The op can't answer for his beloved father but with the way I shoot group l would think it is to keep his cheek off the stock true benchrest Style .

For your loss, my sympathies, for your memories that is what keeps him alive. I’ve always thought of the things that I have in my life not of things I have owned but of things that I was a caretaker of until they are passed on to someone else and all that I hope is that they will enjoy them as much as I have. They are never MINE !
