It's about so much more than a rifle. I'm happy for you to have such a treasure!

Update on this story. I found a box of his empty brass with his original load data on television side. So I loaded up some shells using his brass and duplicating his load specs. I took his gun out today being opening day of gun season and went to "his" mountain where he took his best buck ever. Well at 3 am he called me to tell me he took a short hunt today and was standing over an 8 point. I was still in the woods hunting but we talked for ten minutes or so. It was miserable today with Temps in the 20's with 20mph plus winds all day. About an hour later I also was rewarded and took a pretty nice buck with his gun on his mountain. Got to go and admire his deer and show him mine. I wanted to get pictures of them together but he hates getting his picture taken so that didn't work out. It was a great day spent with great friends and the older I get the more I realize how precious the memories are. My deer was bigger but he claims his had bigger testicles. Gotta love him.
