I recently was invited to an evening of fine cigars and exceptional firearms through a mutual friend. First was this 1000 yard rifle. 1998 Brent M, of Monroe, North Carolina wins the 2-day group aggregate on July 11th and 12th. Brent fired the smallest aggregate out of a field of 260 shooters, with a very nice 7.542″ agg. His individual 10 shot groups were 6.843″ and 8.241″. Brent used one of our 10″ twist .338 caliber barrels. His gunsmith was David Tooley.
Second was to handle a Hank Williams Jr. Ruger Blackhawk given to Brent by Hank Jr. Both are exquisite firearms and I felt truly honored to be allowed to see them in person. Brent did some work on my 35 Remington T/C Super 14 barrel 20 or so years ago which I used to take a few SC whitetail with over the years.
Brent was a gracious host and I hope to be invited back to his lair for more fine gun fellowship. Sorry, no photos but maybe in the future he will allow me the pleasure of sharing some of his fine collection.

I have a Dave Tooley built Savage 99 in 6.5-284. Due to mag length it's set up for 120 grain bullets. Weird one for a builder like him. Work nicely done. Dave is a very well respected builder of precision rifles and active on accurate shooter. It's my understanding he's got a couple year wait for his builds.

Mention a 1000 yard gun and I have a Harold Wolfe built 7mm-300 Weatherby
Special because he developed the cartridge along with the 6.5-300 Built record setting 7-300 at the PA 1000 yard course
There is something special about them
