that Reeder rifle to my eye , fuguly. It would be right at home on 24hr. campfire, however.




Why thank you, kind of you to say so. It is 1) efficient, 2) impossible to damage with a synthetic stock and non-mar barrel, 3) with the recoil reducers in the stock and weight concentrated all on the balance point, nicely balanced for real world use, and 4) it was VERY cheap to build and buy (under 2K), yet it provides a short-barreled multishot tool in a perfect caliber for use in the thickets were one goes to have a close encounter of the nasty kind with Alaskan bears or at longer ranges where the chance is offered and the scout scope (which comes off easily and offers easy access to the ghost ring sights)gives you the option.

In short, an effective and practical working tool, not eye candy and not offered as such. I have plenty of the latter, some of which I have posted here. If beauty is efficiency, than it is quite lovely.

Just my opinion. You are welcome to yours, of course. Dave
