And the winner of the House Brothers Rifle is......

Jerry Raisor, curator at Fort Boonesborough State Park in central Kentucky.

Just before the drawing, it was announced that along with the rifle, the winner would receive a sealed envelope containing an offer to purchase the rifle.  Wonder what he will do?

Guess I can throw away my ticket stubs along with my plans for the sealed envelope!

Looks like I called that one right, when they drew to 5 finalist.

Jerry, that was your day!  Regardless of what was in that envelope, I would submit that the House rifle is a better investment than any paper generated by Wall Street or the commodities exchange, unless you are very, very lucky.

No way I'd sell it--unless my wife found out what it was worth.  ::)

I would have sold it so fast I would have broken their arm getting the money out of their hand. Although, part of it would have gone to buy a top notch rifle from any of several well known builders that I could actually shoot without being paranoid. As far as my wife would know, I won some money AND a rifle. ;D
