i just got back my action and new barrel in 25/35 Winchester. The action came off the barrel and after looking at how much of a piece of art it is i decided to post a couple pictures. i might be wrong but i just love the looks and quality. i just wish i had more money as i would be calling Gail and ordering another one if i did.   i hope the pictures look as good as the action really is. joe g. in Washington state

thanks i should edit but really am not sure how and i dont think anyone on this forum is a threat. i really need to learn more about editing. i am going to head to man cave and put rifle together. only problem for shooting it is the foot of snow on the ground and it is supposed to start melting tomorrow then a worse problem mud.

how far are you from where they make CPA rifles??   that is one place i would visit if i could. i live in the washington on the west coast. it is run by liberals and is heading the way of california.

yes prices have gone up just a bit. i still kick myself for not purchasing a nice frernch gras rifel like new bore and i could have bought it for75 bucks. now brass dies and everything can be found but then i called rcbs and a couple other places and it would have cost over $300 to get just a few cases and dies. 
i bought a m-95 hungarian straight pull rifle paid 79 delivered then as ammo was impossible to get except surplus and it was running out. i bought rcbs dies on their g list a bullet mould from down under cbe in Australia and cases from bertram would up costing me over $300 to load for a rifle that i paid less than 80 bucks for.... shortly after lee made dies and mould graff had cases. but i had what i needed and what a bargain. no one ever said i was a brain surgeon. i never met a gun i didnt like.

Very nice. Like you, I prefer the loop lever. 1st match locally is 3/7. Hope it is not too cold to shoot.

Here's my CPA. Should have the wood back from checkering by the end of the month. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

I remember those days,here in Florida.  Walk into a show with a firearm without having the action tied, sell the piece, buy another and head home.  Lots and lots of blued metal and wood.  Today all you see are polymer handguns and ARs.  As if you couldn't go to a LGS and buy the same thing.  But the other thing I miss is having the tables occupied by people with whom you could make a fair deal.  Today they go on and on about why your piece is not worth anything and theirs is rare, highly sought after, and expensive.  They are not hobbyists, they are vultures~!  I only go for a quick look around to see if I can get lucky and find something the masses are not interested in.  Recently I found a Model 1890 in .22 Short that was made in 1924.  I is incredibly clean and has the prettiest wood I've ever seen on an 1890.  I was able to get a reasonably fair deal on it being that it wasn't an high capacity, big caliber "home protection" weapon~!

Idaho is still that way.  Walk in a gun show with something to sell, or looking to buy.  Make your deal, pay the man, or get cash, and walk out the door.

Reading the responses reminds me how lucky we live in a state where the Constitution is still the law of the land.

Gail at CPA just called me.  I was getting concerned about the rifle I ordered from her.  She told me to relax, the rifle will ship to my FFL next Wednesday.  Plenty of time to get some practice in and be ready to go.
We are lucky to have a 100 yd indoor range in Boise.  The rangemaster there just loves seeing me and a Schuetzen rifle.  The whole concept of breechseating a bullet fascinates him.  Then he saw my first 10 shot target with my Zischang-Stevens.
I used the standard 200yd target, and they were all in the 25 ring.
Put the naysayers and black rifle guys in their place.

take care, and enjoy that CPA!
