I know a lot of the members don't venture into the BPCR section of the board often, but there is a thread started by one of my local friends I think many of you would enjoy.

Thanks for the heads up. That is a lot of history that she owns.

Janet is a wonderful person, and her dad was a giant among long range shooters and collectors.

I love the fact it was a working rancher and shooter that managed to put that collection together, instead of a banker or somebody just showing off.

When My dad was a kid he would ride logs down the bosque river when it flooded. At an old falling down homestead he would camp at on these rides, he found what he thought was an old sharps rifle, he left it there. He told me about it years later, and said though it would be worth quite a bit now, it wasn't hardly worth anything when he found it.
