Remington 37 Kenyon action, Kenyon trigger, and A&M barrel

[Jody777]

I hope this is allowed, a shooting buddy, and member Bob Finger passed away, and I posted a Kenyon 37 action, Kenyon trigger, and A&M match barrel on Gunbroker today. I'm not getting anything for this it's to help his widow out. He ran our benchrest shoots for years, and helped many members here. He will really be missed. If this isn't allowed please delete. I just thought someone here might be interested in a fine Kenyon trigger, and action. I think he died before finishing this as I never saw him at the club with it.

I sure hate to hear about Bob. We both had a love for the old RF rifles.
Help me find the auction as I can't find it.

Butch,

Bob was a very good friend of mine and I knew him for a long time. We shared a bench at the ARA Nationals in St Louis several times and corresponded frequently. I miss him dearly.

Thanks Landy. It would go good with my Mike Walker mod37 and my other.

If anybody knows what rifles he shot in the ARA matches I would like to know. Also were they sporter class?

Hi Jody,
I'm not positive this is correct, but I think Bob was mostly shooting Stiller 2500X's in the later years and during the few years ARA had a sporter class, I kind of doubt he built a sporter for ARA.
It wouldn't surprise me if he had a sporter class rifle, but it would probably have been for IR50 and not ARA.
Wish I could be of more help, but I think your best bet would be to contact all the friends he had at the Piney Hill range where he did the bulk of his shooting.

Hey Landy,
Never knew Bob, but do know from some posts he made he was indeed shooting 2500X's later in his RFBR career.

Bob was a good friend of mine as well. Meet him at Piney Hill in 2013 at the Nationals, first IR match I ever went to. Made me feel right at home even though I was shooting Winchester 52D. Shared several meals and stories with him.

Bob had several BR rifles, 2500Xs and Turbos, built by some of the best Smiths in the business, but I never saw him with a sporter, but not saying he did not have a couple.

RIP Bob
