I'm the proud owner of Brooks #334. Bought it right here off the ALR board last year. It's one of my very favorites and I own 20+ high end longrifles. Can't wait for my next Brooks gun. Going to Iowa to pick it up and share some of Kentuckys best!

Back when I was married the only place I could hide any money that the wife for sure 100% couldnt find was in the OVEN

Now that is funny!!!!  ;D

   Nice rifle gun, Wattle!  I love that huge lock.  "Mike was a real gentleman"...wow,LOL, you caught him on a day when his meds kicked in! JK.. ;D I don't think I've found a gun of Mike's I didn't like. Great craftsman.

Beautiful!  Mike's work comes very highly recommended - he just needs to clone himself so impatient folks like me can own one of his creations. ;D  My dream gun is a slim .62 smooth rifle or sighted fowler - one gun to collect all game I pursue.
