Re: two rifles back!
Thanks Randy. One on the left is a totally sporterized 1895 Chilean Mauser in 7x57, first CF rifle I ever bought['74-'75] and the one on the right is a 03A3 in 30-06 I bought in '84. Good friend refinished the stock on both. Both have Timney triggers.
My friend of 50+ years has had them for about 25 years and took them to Idaho when he moved there 11 years ago with my blessing. Sadly, Dave passed away last Dec. 15. I asked his brother Steve if I could get those two back and he had no problem getting them back to me. Hell of a circle, but, I have them back. I will miss hanging out with Dave, but, still have other friends in Idaho, so, will still be going there. Now to get them to the range.

Re: two rifles back!
Thanks Jim. Yes, he hunted with them. One deer in Ca, two in Idaho with the 7x57. One elk in Idaho with the 30-06.
One of these may get me to hunt again. Probably the 7x57, it's always been a lucky rifle.
