Generous offer and much appreciated, but with them finding the rifle and the insurance company stepping up, I will be back in the game very shortly.
Some great shooting buddies, Gunsmiths, and Vendors really stepped up to get a match gun up and running. I should have a new rifle up and running by Monday. We have 5 weeks tell JC Steel and our local match on the 8th of this month. I will have 4 days to get a load done!
The way the officer put it was the person that stole it was very well known to be a Dirt Bag. And with the extra heat of steeling something this unique and expensive they new they were screwed so they ditched it. It was thrown roughly 20 min from my house up a road that is less traveled. Heck I can think of 5 other bridges closer that would have dropped it in much deeper water. This one was just off the beaten path.
The said reality is some D bag still lives in my neighborhood and knows that I have nice things. My concern now is the safety of my family.
Looks like the wife will be getting some extra range time!
