Dads old Sears rifle.

I honestly don't recall if it was my early years in Colorado or Illinois but the Sears and the Wards for that matter, had nice long rectangular displays.
Plenty to keep me busy while my mom shopped elsewhere in the store.

We had a small Monkey Wards in our small town. Not many guns there but what pulled me in was the big Western knife display. Really wanted that hatchet knife combo.....

Tried bidding on a display like that about 10 years ago at an hardware store that was going out of business. It was missing probably 30% of the knives but it went for a bit over what I could spend. Would have been cool in the mancave.

That hatchet and knife combo sheath is suh-weet.

Love that stock Elk!
I killed a swag of goats with a similarly stocked offering in a Brno .223.

I had no idea they had a Weatherby style stock. Is that original of after market. Beautiful rifle!

Well, Sako and I went to the range today. That old ought six is a fun rifle to shoot! It shoot pretty darn well. The last group o shot was a four leaf clover at 50 yards. Yeah I know that’s no long range outing but the range was packed. Sako and I went on to the shotgun range and shot some clay….. super fun!

Great day at the range for sure. Put a few rounds down range with Elks 06 and it's a shooter for sure.
It was a single shot rifle day for me. C.Sharps in 25-35 and 40-65 WCF along with my Browning 78 45-70 and the Vintage Rolling block .22
Rounded out the day as Andy said on the trap range and had a blast. It's been a couple years since I picked up my Citori and I shot pretty decently.
Andy made it look easy with a CZ 12ga SXS that was new unfired until today. Shotguns will join the rotation more frequently now I think.

Was a great day for sure!!

Thank you. It was a lucky find a few years back thank to a local enabler

Shouldn’t be too hard to lop off the fore end tip, grind down the grip cap and knock off the cheek piece.

That seems a waste of time. Just buy a plastic stock and throw the on the fire.

.........and thread it for a can....

Beautiful looking rifle btw
