Here is the Ballard Mike bought at the Hamilton match.

Beautiful example of the gun builders art. I just love a "perch belly" stock on a rifle.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Gorgeous Ballard. Well executed by whoever did the stocks!

Joe tell Mike for me that it is a very very nice Ballard.
And it is what caliber?
Looks like the photo was taken on Mike's front deck overlooking the lake.

I am surprised you didn’t buy that one Joe. Did Mike get his wallet out of his pocket sooner?
  

People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

I picked the Winchester because I liked it best and I knew it would bug Jack that I got it. I like Winchesters too. By the way, the Binger HW shot like a sooped up wildcat this weekend.

Mike was shooting his Ballard also. We were at Glasgow MT. Mike did not shoot well. He pulled muscles in his back and side wrastling a boat trailer. He was in a lot of pain all weekend.

When I saw the Winchester it was love at first sight. It was something I couldn't live without. 

Mike didn't have a chance. I stood at the table with my elbows out. Mike tried to muscle in for a look but I elbowed him away and asked him if he saw that Ballard at the other end of the table. Things worked out well for both of us and we're still friends.
