	I've seen some very nice Titheringtons, wcf3840. but your supremely deluxe Ballard takes the cake! One question, though. I initially presumed it was a .22 RF because that's the theme of this thread. Then I noticed the re-decapper on your bench. So? Bill Lawrence

	I believe that Hubalek should be in your future, He could hold his own with the best of them when it came to 22s. They seem to be rather scarce, but they are out there.

	Joe Do... wrote on Aug 7^th, 2020 at 7:44pm: Greg ... a “GT” marked striker Ballard would look very nice next to these others Joe, A compliment and I almost missed it! I don't even begin to put myself in the class most of the above shown/mentioned rifles are in. The problem is most of the rifles I build have far more hours in them then anyone would be interested in paying and besides, they are somewhat like your children and the only time you would have ever considered selling them... may have been while they were in the mid to late teens. Generally once they make it past that period, if you raised them right, you love them and they are a treasure. These guns reach their teen years just before they are completely finished and at that point few folks are really interested... Greg I think a Hubalek or Worn would really round out your collection.

	Bob as you probably know Duane Jenner held his barrels in very high regard.

	Joe I noticed three of your rifles have single triggers. Do you happen to know if they might have been worked on by their individual makers. We hear allot about the quality of their barrels and other work but seldom do we hear about any possible improvements being made to the triggers themselves. We all know that a single trigger has a better lock time and I am just curious about the quality and functionality of the three that you now own.

marlinguy Frequent Elocutionist Offline Ballards may be weaker, but they sure are neater! Posts: 15771 Location: Oregon Joined: Feb 2^nd, 2009	Re: .22 Ballard Reply #29 - Sep 21^st, 2020 at 3:21pm	Print Post
	None of my old schuetzen Ballards have single triggers. All are set triggers. But I do have Ballard "competition" type rifles that are factory single triggers. My #7 Long-Range, and #4 1/2 Mid-Range are both single triggers, as these venues rules required the guns to not be set triggers. And I've got a great number of single trigger Ballard rifles that are lesser models. I've never owned a Ballard with DST, or single trigger that ever had a bad trigger feel. Even the base hunting models had extremely good triggers.
