Default Anyone going down to see Ron Smith in the next while?

Hey fellas. My Godson has a rifle down At Ron Smith's. He lives out at Peers, but is tied up with work now for the next month. If anyone from the Edmonton area is heading down to see Ron, I know he'd be tickled pink if you would bring it back with you. If you are, and you'd be willing, shoot me a pm. Thanks.

Oh crap!
A buddy was just down there and picked up my highwall that Ron te-barreled in 260!
He could have run it back up no problem .

He told me he did that for you

Sounds like a nice combo. You shot it yet?

Shoots like every other RKS gain twist I ever owned , accurate and easy to clean.

I guess, if you don't know Smith, you could read it the other way.

Yes, I suppose I didn't write very clearly. I know Ron is in Wimborne. I dropped the gun off there. Godson lives in Peers, so it is quite a hike for him. He works all week and just started building his first house on the weekends. Thought if anyone from the Edmonton area were going down, they could bring it back and I would pick it up from them.

I can head to Ron's shop pretty much any time but I don't go to Edmonton often. I will be heading to lacombe soon if that helps any? I'm sure my work wouldn't notice if I took a slight detour a bit more north than I'm supposed to go.
