A Very Special Gun!

Lewis · Apr 11, 2023

I'm trying to post a few pics and make a few videos to document and share some of my favorites. Hopefully this history can be preserved for those who follow us in loving these wonderful toys.
This is the rifle nicknamed Rocinante after Don Quixote's horse. It was first piloted to win the Nationals in 2007 by Roz Sumpter then again in 2011 by Steve Vines!
This rifle and its sibling are separated by only one serial number. The sibling was the backup gun, also used by both men. and both LEFTY'S to boot!

Good looking rifle

The stock is similar to the CS1000 made by Customer Stocks over here.

*** Breaux Lewis - I would be lying out my ass if I didn't admit I regret having to sell them, but I take GREAT comfort knowing they are in possession of someone that TRULY appreciates them***

Man, you’ve been bringing it lately Lewis. Beautiful guns and great pieces of airgun history to boot!

Lewis · Apr 12, 2023

Thank you all for the kind words and comments. I have truly been blessed to receive and experience these amazing rifles. Please feel free to share as well. I know there is a lot more out there.

Special indeed.........

While I am indescribably envious of your collection, I am also pretty pleased to know that collections like yours exist.
The beauty of certain rifles, coupled with such a compelling back story, instantly propels them into mythic status. Going into it knowing that they are National level winners, and lefties to boot..... ..WOW!
Thanks for taking the time to share them with us, and for keeping the golden glow of the glory days shining!

No, too bad you're not a lefty, as we're the only ones in our right mind.
