This .40 cal. rifle was built for my wife by Bob Watts in the late 1970s. It is 46" overall, 12 1/2" LOP and weighs about 6 1/2 lbs. The stock is beautiful full curl maple with a great finish. She continued ml shooting for a number of years after getting this rifle but used others we had. Bob may have been a fine builder but nice person he wasn't. Sad that my memories of him stir up anger. Oh, well. This rifle has been a safe queen for a half century.

Unfortunately, there are some folks out there that are like that.

Nice looking rifle. That weight rifle would be a joy to shoot and carry.
 
The rifle looks very interesting. Are there more photographs available, or have you tucked it away again for storage ? :cool: :thumb:
