Looks like I did pretty well on this one. I was doing a little research on who might have made this rifle and I was given the name....Bill Sturtevant. Today I spoke to Bill's son at Sturtevant Arms in Pueblo, Colorado and he confirmed that the rifle was, in fact, built there. It is a Sturtevant Courage and the action, barrel and stock......the whole firearm.....is custom made from raw materials entirely in their shop. He remembered the rifle and was able to provide me with it's entire provenance. This one had most of the bells and whistle options too. He said the rifle would be around 5-6 times what I paid if I bought it today! I also found out that it has an incredible warranty. Check out this LINK
