	This came from the Ehler's collection and most huddled around the tables thought it had my name on it because of it's stock design... I shot it last night in the wind (10-15 mph), tried 5 different lots, 20 shots each, appears to have potential. I'm sanding and finishing it's pine 2x6 for effect now, maybe look for new lumber for it eventually. GT

	She definitely won’t blow away in any wind! What does it weigh? Bob

	That's what I'd expect from a A Hubalek barreled Ballard! Very nice basis for some nice stocks later.

	There's no wiggle on the bench. Weighs in at 18.5 pounds with the pine buttstock. Found a piece of curly maple in my mess for a new butt stock, maybe have it done in time for Glasgow??? The screwed on walnut bag rider using the drywall screws definitely adds some class...

	Function over aesthetics?
