Those are definitely cool guy lighters. Part of the reason I have Hi-Powers. 👍

Certain I have 4...….maybe more.

My favorite deer rifle is an A-Bolt Medallion in 25-06...…...bout 25 years oold and I wouldn't trade for anything out there.

I also have a BDM in 9mm...….sweetest trigger pull on a DA I have ever shot

I have a Hi-Power I lent to my son when he was working in corrections...…...he's been out of that field about 5 years,time to get it back.

Also have a Citori O/U 12ga......I never shoot it,just too pretty to take out in the field.I have a couple lesser O/U 12/s for the duck blind and quail/dove fields.

At some point in the not so distant future I plan to own a mostly self-built highly accurized long range deer rifle in .260 Remington based on a Remington 700 action. Since Marine Scout/Snipers have for decades used the 700 action as the foundation for their rifles the 700 is certainly a great choice my rifle.

Having completely hand-built built my AR from from the ground up with individual parts instead off the shelf or sub assemblies I definitely caught the bug. Hopefully, that rifle will at least rival yours both in accuracy and aesthetics.

Perhaps a trip to west Texas will be required for an appropriate test firing environment.

I built my wife a .260 REM on a Savage Model 12 Action. Much more end user friendly, head space gages vice a lathe. 😁 Lothar Walther SS barrel, McMillan A5 stock I bedded with Devcon Titanium putty.

She's won a couple of 1000 yard F-Class matches with it. 142 SMK's over H-4350 and Federal 210 primers in Lapua brass. IOR 6.5-24 scope.

I run a Savage .308, Lothar Walther barrel, Manners stock, Nightforce scope. 175 SMK's. I'm good to 1k.

Having grown up in the .mil with the remmies, the Savage's are much more user friendly, and the accu-trigger is a better trigger right out of the box.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll look into it. I’ve even given thought to a single shot based on a Ruger #1 or Dakota Arms Farquharson style falling block action because the Farquharson type action is generally regarded as the most accurate and strongest action available on the open market today.

But, I’m having a tough time getting past the possible need for a relatively quick follow-up shot. Who knows. Time will tell.

The only apparent certainty is an exhibition quality English walnut stock blank, engravings and gold wire inletting. It certainly is a plus to live 11 miles from a Firearms Engravers Guild of America (FEGA) master engraver Layne Zulke who as a team member was tasked to create the actual design and subsequently engraving of that design on the 2019 FEGA-Colt 1911 auction gun shown at:

Not looking for something as bold at that design, but it’s an outstanding example of his skill set.

I really like these. They're all the Xikar Allume is minus the outside adjuster. Which I don't really use anyway. Thank you Steve

You’re welcome - I also think that they sit in the pocket better, because of the size of the zippo.
