Two Paul Jaeger Custom Rifles For Sale in 257 Roberts Ackley Improved and 35 Whelen Ackley Improved

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

I'm concerned about a long, detailed ad being timed out on AH, but both, EXCELLENT condition, have been listed (in much greater detail) on GI, along with scopes, mounts, dies, brass and some ammo. $3,750 and $3,250, respectively, including shipping. 26" and 22". I visited Paul Jaeger's shop as a kid (to fix my 1st centerfire rifle action-a Win 94 in 30-30. He charged me $12, with a CATCH! That I'd purchase one of his rifles (when not earning $8 weekly in quarters as a paperboy. LOL) So, I made him proud by buying two, many moons later as an adult. Now, it's time to release them into the hands of other true aficionados...The first is a fantastic longer range deer/antelope/varmint/target gun while the second is more a combo deer-bear, elk, moose or big bear gun, but also excellent for African PG. 300 yd target for the 257 and 100 yds for the 35. Many custom touches on each. The 257 rifle and cartridge are shear genius IMO, but the 35 is a flawless, quick-pointing work gun. Neither are heavyweights. 257 barely recoils. Can use either factory ammo or reload the fireformed factory cases once fired. ~8-8.5 lbs w/ scope. See GI ad for more details...I'm simplifying things in advance of retirement, moving, and making room for projects for kids/grandkids.

From time to time, my wife lets me win.

WRONG
She lets you think you have won but in reality you have won nothing. That's speaking from experience.
Just look at the smile in her face when you think you have won. Then you realise you have been conned. Winning ALWAYS comes with a catch
