Grail Guns

[TN2shot07]

It’s changed over time, I’ve had a couple that didn’t live up to my hopes. Right now I’d be torn between one of the NULA rifles built by Melvin Forbes (I’m not against the Wilson Combat version, they’re just different) or a strata from Rifles Inc. I should probably try to make one of those happen while Lex is still building them. Preferably in 7-08, 270 or 280 ackley but there are several I wouldn’t bat an eye at.

I am horribly afflicted by the Win Mod 70 pre64 bug.

Always on the lookout for an unaltered 1936 - 1955 rifle in a configuration and caliber that I don't yet own.

They are still out there but getting harder and more expensive to find them.

Thd mere thought of a 1950-52 standard grade in 257 Roberts makes me weak in the knees

one of the few rifles ive ever regretted selling was a pre 64 i had built in 7 STW from a 375 hh action i bought on gun broker while drunk one night. the smith that built it out for me did an amazing job.

There are two rifles that I’ve wanted for a long time. Both are somewhat connected.

Grew up in West Virginia so a Melvin Forbes NULA is one I’ve always dreamed of. Something about them I’ve always liked, but could never afford one. Got to borrow a Barrett fieldcraft a couple years ago and that made me want one even more.

Second one is a Sako L579 Forester, preferably in 243. I’m a forester so one would be cool to have.

The connection between the two rifles is that I went to forestry school right across the river from where Melvin’s shop was.

I would like a savage 24 with a 20 gauge and a .223. I had a 42 with 410 and 22mag and it was one of my favorite guns until it got stolen out of my pick up.
