In my opinion that is the best gun Jerry ever made.

Jere and I were good friends. What most people today don’t realize is that Jere made every single part of his rifles all by himself.  A true master craftsman and artist.

Thanks for sharing Art.  He was a master craftsman for sure.  He shared a lot of valuable information on the board.

Jerry was a true friend to many of us contemporary builders.  He was extravagant with his praise of other's work (mine particularly) and offered much appreciated constructive critique.  He is missed here.  And I agree with Mike...this is a special rifle.

Jerry used to attend the Engravers Guild Show and Meeting at the Las Vegas Winter show and his absence is evident. Greatly missed and a master craftsman he  certainly was one of a kind. He was always helpful and was generous with his talents and knowledge.
