From what little I can see it looks good!

Nice! What barrel?

Love that piece of wood.

Thank you they did a great job finishing it also

Beautiful rig and it looks to shoot good too.

Nice looking piece of lumber.

Case color,  see photo above. Typical Stevens pattern.

I don't see any blues in the picture, lot of black and silver.

I haven't had any issues with spent cases falling into the action on this or my other CPA. The High Wall chambered in 22 LR is a whole other matter 

What I mean on the CPA you can pull one out let it fall on top of the lowered block insert a new cartridge & the spent case is pushed out of the action as the block is raised. Works well until it doesn’t.

Never owned a Highwall but expect function is why sometimes see .22 High-walls with the action side cut down. Can see it’s a potential problem Smallbore prone all strapped in, offhand less so.

By the way have only used Douglas barrels number of cast bullet rifles. I think being button rifled they are the most consistent performers long strings, accuracy equal to any barrel.

Just opinion can’t prove it.

That is my experience too. I never ever had a spent case fall into the works on a CPA. I have used a few choice words when loosing one into the low wall.

Last time I dropped the block on my Stevens Pope .22 Low wall there was a surprise mangled case wedged inside that didn't prevent it from functioning.

What's the wait time for a CPA rifle?

That's a pretty good turn around.  Guess I better get busy selling a few of the safe children to pay for one.

I'm thinking that I'd like to have one barrel in 38-55 and the other in 40-65.

NEW CPA OWNERSHIP... ?

Whatt..?

Did Gail sell the company?

One nice aspect of buying a CPA is going to Dingmans Ferry, and sorting through the available wood for a stock and then finishing it yourself.

PS My serial number is about 820 ish bought back about 23 years ago.

Good!  Now you can bring it to the Chinquapin event the last Friday and Saturday in June and show it off!

Scott, come to Chinquapin. I can guarantee you a warm welcome and a fun time. Your presence would be our pleasure as well.

Moose beautiful rifle thanks for sharing!
Scott

Love the CPA rifles, had one in .45-70 and wish I never sold it!

That is a great do it all combo 
Man did they get that out fast, 5 months!
What is your favorite configuration so far?
Scott

I just scoped another CPA (engraved Stevens receiver) with the Leatherwoid Malcolm 5x I just bought in the sales section. Wanted to put together a classic American Schützen for 200 OH. 

I can shoot it off the bench reasonably well, but took the Lyman 20x off for the new CPA.

Scott, it's a lot of fun. We are less formal than most matches as we have it for 3 days and folks show up when they want to, and shoot any of the events when they wish to. Some of us are there for 3 days (like myself who generally brings 9-10 rifles).

BTW, based on your writeup in the last ASSRA Journal I just bought 3 bricks of the Lapua Midas + for my CPA .22 setup.

That is a beautiful rifle!  I've never owned a scoped single shot. But at 66, my eyes are fading. It seems like every time I go to the range it gets harder to see the sights. I have tang sights on many of my rifles and they help a lot, but the front sight is still a challenge. Plain barrel sights - forgetaboutit!   

For the last year or so I've toyed with the idea of getting a nice period scoped rifle for informal bench target shooting out to 200 yards. I've always wanted a .32-40. So been thinking about a highwall, Stevens or Ballard. I really like your CPA. A rifle like that in .32-40 would do well for me. I know nothing about scopes, mounts etc. Would that scope be a good fit for my use? Does CPA sell the scopes also?   

Thanks,
Steve

Good Morning Steve,
Thank you for the kind words. I see a 32-40 in my future 
I have really bad eyes and could not imagine shooting without a scope. I am a proponent of period/target scopes on single shot rifles.
Take Care,
Scott
