Hello All,

The most fun part of collecting guns is when you finally obtain an elusive treasure, and then you share your find with fellow collectors. I circled around this one for nearly 2 years, and finnally got it.

So, here's the details about this latest acquisition:

A Watson Brothers Rook Rifle - 297-250 Rook cal - Lightly Engraved - Side Lever - Ejector - 5 lbs 3 oz - 14-1/2" LOP - 26" Round Barrel - Island Front & Rear Sight - 1 Standing 2 Folding Rear Site marked: 50,100,150 - Presentation Stock - Checkered Butt - Horn Forend Tip & Grip Cap - Alligator Skin Case - Glass Oil Bottle - Parker Hale Patches

As you have seen in my various posts on this Forum, I posted about several Rook rifles in various calibers. But, this one is by far the Finest I've ever had the pleasure to own.

As always, your comments are welcome.
