Quarterbore guns are way, WAY underrated. I am willing to be that either one of those guns would go head to head with any deer rifle made.

That is a wonderful story about those very lucky kids. Thank you for sharing. That checkering is what really looks sharp to me. Don't see it done like that very often. Lot of time there.

That's very cool Indeed, Greg.

My hat's off to your dad...He is obviously an awesome father, and a very Intelligent machinist.

That is beyond amazing. I am sure one day you sons will know exactly what they have. A truly priceless treasure.

Greg,

Greg,

Great story ... and beautiful rifles. Here's an idea you may want to consider. Write down on paper a short article about those rifles ... the history, specs, what they meant to your father, what they mean to you, and what you want your kids to know later down the road about the whole story when they get older. Then seal it and put it in safe keeping. A lot of things said get forgotten over time, dried ink does not forget. I'm fortunate to have my 35 year-old-son close by and we still shoot together when we can. I'll start to talk about this or that gun of mine and a deer story behind it, or where and when I got that gun and he won't remember that I told him those same stories 25 years ago. So I've started to write down information on my favorite guns and their history as I now have three grandsons. None are old enough to shoot yet, but I have some rifles earmarked for them. There are no guarantees in life, so I want a record of my firearm legacy to them, in case I'm not around, because one day it will matter to them.

Greg, if I start calling you grandpa will you pass on a couple of them 99's to me?


Nice rifles by the way, the .257 Roberts is a very underrated and over looked cartridge. Edited April 7, 2013 by Caster
