This is also a perfect example of "who gets the good wood?"
Is it pure luck the 29's are better?

Serial number 54 was shipped in 69 and it is pre inc. The receiver was probably was just held and put together later. Who knows what went on. He had the number I believe in the 50's.

Here is a picture of the Elmer Keith 77 #15. The Redfield scope is done the same as the Sims Redfield scope. I wonder where that was done.

Well, congratulations again. It has to be cool just sitting alone with these for a while and feeling the history

Wow what great additions to anyone's collection! What do we need to do to schedule a show where we can get Vaughn to bring out some of his collection?
