He’s such a nice guy I wanted to check it out, support him a little. I bought a M97 at dealer’s cost. It was a 7.5” with action job and laminated grips. I didn’t like the scope mounts available (aluminum) so I modded a steel DDT base for a M83, using two screws on the light recoiling rig. Bob saw it special mount from across the room and beat a trail to inquire! I liked getting his goat. I hated forming them from .327, a horrid experience trimming and fire forming. Bob disagreed with me but I made fine working ctgs. from a single pass .32 H&R case. No trimming and one fire form shot. When Baker objects I take note but it worked fine for me. He wanted to do a .257 version on the .327 but I urged .32 H&R. GNR came out with the .250 GNR on exactly that. A superior option in my view. I guess Bob got on a different project. Sort of a modernized .25-20 Win., shorter and stronger.
