I'll be there. I'll be one of the sawed off dudes with a beard at the Tok air service table.

I’ll be there.

I built a “Memorial Rifle” dedicated to a couple local sheep hunters from Fairbanks and North Pole who passed away while out sheep hunting last September. Friends and family asked me to build rifle. About 6 folks involved with the project locally, I know one is a Rokslide member.

100 percent of the auction amount donation to the AKWSF the family and friends requested. Rifle is a custom built 280AI on a Kimber Montana action, Lilja 24” 9” twist 3-groove Barrel, seamless contoured muzzle break, Jard 24oz trigger, 150 rnds tuned handloaded ammo, Leupold VX3 4.5-14x40 30mm LR scope, Cerakoted Tungsten with Graphite Black parts highlights, Fluted bolt/hollowed bolt knob, Fluted Barrel, Pelican 2-gun travel vault, Harris Bi-Pod and Boyt soft case.

In addition to the handloaded ammo, Rifle has been proofed with factory Hornady Precision hunter 162gr ELDX ammo as well averaging .360 MOA from three, 3 shot groups. See attached picture.

Rifle with scope weight is 6lbs 5oz total.

Any backstories on the sheep mounts are they from years past or somewhat current?

 

[AK Troutbum]

I don’t know.

Last night was a blast! Took me 30 minutes to get from the door to my table, kept running into old friends.

Sounds like one heck of a great evening with a great crowd.

Didn't win anything, but it was another great banquet.

I won a pack! Although, I really didn’t need another pack.
