When I knew Bob Milhoan he was primarily building varmint rifles for people. A real common high demand item. He would generally use a Remington Model 700 or a Mauser 98 (at that time they were cheap and everywhere). He also liked the Browning single shot action. I was in my “big bore” phase and he let me shoot some hot hand loads in a lever action (1886?) It just whetted my appetite for more. He told be about the 505 Gibbs but didn’t have one there to shoot.

If my memory serves me right he also had a beard. He removed the rear sights of my first gun a 1893/1916 Spanish Mauser (just turned 14). His home was filled with all types of guns which is still very common in that part of West Virginia.
