[QUOTE="Steelers Fan, post: 4205961, member: 16254"] We've seen the [I]Lust for Luster[/I] but how about stuff from the [I]Butcher Shop[/I]. Here I have what I call the [B][I]TEXAS RANGER TACTICAL RIFLE[/I][/B]. I purchased this Winch '94 from a coworker for $75 rusted with a badly water stained stock. Took it apart, cleaned it up, stripped and sun bleached the stock with bleach water to resurrect this furniture from hell, then oil finished to a naturally well used patina to match the nearly silver sided receiver. Didn't like the factory sight so with no rail available I modified a weaver type base for a Marlin. About 7 hours of hand sanding with different socket sizes wrapped in sand paper to meet the flare and contour of the chamber to barrel portion and it would be topped w a simple Bushnell Trophy. Eye alignment from padded cheek and pill holder finished it off. My son first took a deer with it 14yrs ago and I've poked a couple yotes and a nice buck on the Washita River with it. I regurlarly take it as a backup gun deer hunting and I use as a primary on canoe hunts. Actions old, loose, sloppy but it locks up good and is stupid accurate with cheap Federal 150's. Not afraid of a 200yd shot with this one. [/QUOTE]
