New Don Bruton Rifle
« on: December 06, 2020, 06:25:22 AM »
Just received this fine rifle from Don about 2 weeks ago. 50 cal, 42in barrel and Chambers lock. Kept it pretty basic along the lines of his "Boone Gun". I can't say enough great things about it! Balances beautifuly and points like a dream. Weighs almost exactly 7lbs. Just wanted to share some pictures with you guys. Thanks again Don!

I like it a lot. Don builds a good strong hunting rifle. Im lucky enough to have 3 of them.

The lines are wonderful and sleek on this rifle.  I especially like the butt plate.  Plain is what does it for me and this one is a beauty!

I always appreciate seeing another Don Bruton rifle and have one myself from a couple years back. That picture with the rifle leaning up against the tree is amazing. Congratulations in obtaining such a fine example!

Agreed. The fancy guns are cool but just not my style. To each his own.  The hand forged butt plate and iron mounts put it over the top for me!

Very nice. Anyone who is lucky enough to have anything Don makes is very lucky. Besides being a darn fine gun maker he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet!

He was great to chat with. I'm sure this won't be my last gun from him!

His latest creation (still in the early stages of creation) would make a nice addition to the one you got.

For sure. I love the new stuff he's doing! I will probably be a return customer  :)
