The rifle is over a 50th Anniversary travel blanket given with each 1998 Ford 150 pickup. Sold the truck, but kept the blanket. Still have the rifle too. It's on its third barrel. Frank Wilson chambers my barrels and I still can't convince him to chamber them to shoot where I want instead of where I aim. Some people just can't listen....
What did you want to know about US Optics? They are custom made to you specs out in California. They are more of a longrange tactical application scope with what I would consider some of the finest glass available. These scopes are not the lightest thing on the market and by some standards would be considered obese, but for the type of shooting were weight is not a factor they are great.
There's always joy in seeing collectible hunting pieces with fine grades of wood, and there's always something special about seeing historic firearms with stories behind them, but GOSH DARNIT THE HECK I'M ENJOYING THIS THREAD!!!!! I'll have to partake when I get the pics loaded.
