We knew that only after speaking with you Saturday afternoon, Michael.

We were disappointed it wasn't there on Saturday or Sunday. We surely would have enjoyed seeing it. It's unlikely we'll get the chance again.

Jack O'Connor had a long and interesting career writing about hunting and custom rifles. Certainly he was adept at both. I enjoyed his sensible approach to what he considered a good custom rifle. And he went through the exercise of multiple iterations of custom rifles until he got what he considered his favorite.......his Winchester Model 70's stocked by Biesen.

However, Jack was 51 and 57 respectively when those rifles were delivered. He had accomplished a whole bunch of hunting, and written thousands of words about his hunting trips before he ever had them.
