I'll be there. I'll be one of the sawed off dudes with a beard at the Tok air service table.

I’ll be there.

I built a “Memorial Rifle” dedicated to a couple local sheep hunters from Fairbanks and North Pole who passed away while out sheep hunting last September. Friends and family asked me to build rifle. About 6 folks involved with the project locally, I know one is a Rokslide member.

100 percent of the auction amount donation to the AKWSF the family and friends requested. Rifle is a custom built 280AI on a Kimber Montana action, Lilja 24” 9” twist 3-groove Barrel, seamless contoured muzzle break, Jard 24oz trigger, 150 rnds tuned handloaded ammo, Leupold VX3 4.5-14x40 30mm LR scope, Cerakoted Tungsten with Graphite Black parts highlights, Fluted bolt/hollowed bolt knob, Fluted Barrel, Pelican 2-gun travel vault, Harris Bi-Pod and Boyt soft case.

In addition to the handloaded ammo, Rifle has been proofed with factory Hornady Precision hunter 162gr ELDX ammo as well averaging .360 MOA from three, 3 shot groups. See attached picture.

Rifle with scope weight is 6lbs 5oz total.

I think I had too much fun last night - rough flight back to Fairbanks this morning.

Great to see that rifle fetch that much money. Great build Steve!

Any backstories on the sheep mounts are they from years past or somewhat current?

 

[AK Troutbum]

I don’t know.

Last night was a blast! Took me 30 minutes to get from the door to my table, kept running into old friends.

Sounds like one heck of a great evening with a great crowd.

Didn't win anything, but it was another great banquet.

I won a pack! Although, I really didn’t need another pack.
