My New Squirrel Rifle
« on: March 19, 2012, 10:19:48 PM »
Here is my new squirrel rifle that Pathfinder built for me. It's a .32 cal Southern Mtn Rifle. It sports a curly ash stock that is just awesome. A small Siler lock, double set triggers, and a banana patch box that was ingraved by our own Captchee.

All I can say is that I'm very happy with my new rifle. I will try to get out this weekend to shoot it, and get her sighted in.

Thanks a bunch Pathfinder, I love this Baby!  :shake

ASH! The OTHER stock wood. I've got an incredible curly ash blank that's waiting to get an A-wt .40. x 46" Rice and a Chambers small Queen Anne.

I purely love seeing guns with ash stocks. I'm really jealous.  :toast

Nice rifle gun there Pres...too bad this year is a smooth bore year at TRR..,

Swamp toted that new child all day Saturday at the Kalamazoo show. IN THE CASE.  We finally asked if he was ashamed of it or what and got him to take the cover off. It is a beauty, and more striking because of that ash stock. She surely comes to shoulder and eye well. Swamp will have no excuses now for missing.  Nicely done Path.
