No, this is actually the full on custom job that Bill Leeper built me, it is THE gun that inspired Clay to phone Ruger to get the ball rolling on the #1 light sporter.


First hand loads told me that it will do just fine with everything from 150's to 215 cup and cores just fine for hunting , haven't shot any Barnes or cast in it yet, but have lots of both.

You can count on Hot Paws and myself to be there early to help set up again. Need a break from this range. See you all there.

I normally wouldn't compete in a match while handicapping myself as far as equipment goes, but this is going to be more of a fun shoot for me.
Besides, it's my main hunting rifle these days!

Shes filling up fast!

Negotiations on supper are begining.

I have commitments of a few door prizes already, and more are to follow once I have some time off during the week, lining up more swag is going to happen.

Haha. Its my first time obtaining a pal.
You have a good reason to miss out. Not a "good" reason, but. you get the idea.
Hope you are healing up well.
I could always still go and heckle a couple members. kidding guys.
Best of luck fellas!

No doubt I'm sure you could have someone transport your gun. If it's anything like trapshooting meets it'll be a good time.
