Dave contacted me through GunBroker when I was selling a couple of my field target rifles. One of them had a beautiful stock made by AZ. He told me he needed a target rifle to compete at 10 m. He will be competing sitting down resting the rifle on a mounted mono pod.
As we’ve all been burned at one time or another by scammers (I have), or we know someone who has, he is a little nervous. I believe we’re past that point now as we’re going to do the transaction shortly. I explained that the field target rifle wouldn’t work for his needs, and told him I would see what I could do.
Without his asking, I am doing this post. I had an older Steyr 10 m rifle in mint condition, That I could of course sell him much cheaper than a new 10 m rifle. It also has a beautiful laminated wood stock, and like me Dave likes wood.
He really wanted a butt hook, but they are very expensive. So I made him one out of Koa, possibly the most expensive wood in the world. It only grows on the Hawaiian islands.
I am not only doing this post to make Dave more comfortable, I wanted to introduce him to the forum. I have a feeling he could spend some time here and enjoy and learn. My father was a warrior, all of them have earned my respect and thanks.
I am including a decent case, which is the only case I have ever seen that would be long enough to have the rifle fit with the butt hook. I am also including a complete Fill set up for a Steyr, My only one, but it’s easy for me to call Joe B and get another one.
Below is a picture of the rifle with the case, and the extra tube. Also a target I just shot at 10 m so I could get it sited in for him.
Please welcome Dave to the airgun world!
