    Latest review of my father's firearms; Jim Zahm Model 70.

    Interesting backstory for Mr. Zahm. Very impressive individual who built amazing and accurate rifles. I shot one today and was very impressed...

    That rifle is what one ought to look like. Mr Zahm was truly an artist and you father was my kind of rifleman and you are very fortunate to have had him and to have inherited his guns. That rifle looks just like Alvin Lindens or Al Biesen's work.

    I enjoy your "Blabbing".
    Didn't know the story of your Dad's passing.
    Please keep sharing the stories of your Dad.
    You're a good Son.

    Use your dad’s loads and take that rifle hunting. The 25-06 is lightning on deer.
    I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.

    Thank you very much! Hoping to find time to follow it up and actually try the next time so it is better quality.

    Thank you. I really have no idea why I have a YouTube channel. I don't want to make money off of it, I have limited knowledge on firearms, I am not entertaining, and my production quality is horrible. HR Funk is leaps and bounds better, and he knows his stuff and I always learn something interesting. Mine are more therapeutic in a way. Especially these ones featuring my dad's guns. If someone gets any value out of them, that that is a real surprise and a blessing.

    There's a market for everything.
    You're a natural.
    Just go with it.
    There's real value in what you do.
