	Texas Mac Thanks a bunch ! That is an interesting rifle and one named after me, the potato farmer. The case is particularly interesting since I've not seen one like it in the past. Creedmoormatch

	That has to be a rather delicate case or one heck-of-a piece of wood that it was built out of . Two hinges and no cracks , I'm impressed . Oh ya , and the rifle is awsome too . Thanks , Steve

	I don't see any bids on it yet. CMM, you're not gonna pass on your namesake are you? She is a beauty!

	Here is one that is not in as good of shape but with a lot more provenance. Fulton shot in the first Creedmoor event.

	C.M.M. telephoned the accountant right after lunch, . . ., spoke to his secretary, seems he was out playing golf with a couple of clients. Why he plays golf I'll never understand, I've been nudging him into sporting clays . Won't know about the rifle until tomorrow. Creedmoormatch

	Well, golf or not, I hope the accountant has been doing a proper job and will be able to give the go-ahead.

	I turned down the one with the strange case for $10,000 when Neil Gutterman owned it and I don't regret it.

	Joel, Just curious but was there anything particularly incorrect about the rifle that made you decide to pass on it?

	That is one magnificant rifle. It seems to have a Mid Range tang sight on it rather than a Long Range, but looks to have been on there a long time. Don rustyrelx

No, but Neil was so obnoxious to me that day I decided to never buy anything from him. If you know ASSRA member Dennis Hrurosky, I'm sure he will be happy to tell you the whole story. As it turned out it was a great decision, because I got this on from Mike Clark a few weeks later for much, much less money. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)
