Pulled Out My Springer

[WalterF]

Decided to pull out the springer I got from a dear friend who was getting rid of things preparing for his passing.
Setting it up adding a cheek riser and pellet pouch made for fun. Tuning kit coming in Monday along with parts needed to make a hamster.
Looking at shooting it the rest of the year in memory of him. People like him only come a few times in a lifetime.

That’s great that you can take out that rifle and remember your buddy. Nice quality rifles have a way of outliving their owners and bringing joy to next generations. I have my grandpa’s .308 that he was carrying with him when he died while hunting elk. Lots of great memories tied up in that piece of steel and wood.

Brilliant Rifle. I hope you get the chance to tell him how much it, and he means to you.

That's a pretty sweet setup.

So sorry to hear about your friend. That's a beautiful rifle and it will be a great lasting testament to your friend.

Very cool of you.

To remember your friend each time you use it is the ultimate respect you can give him.

It’s a beautiful rifle with a fantastic story behind it.

Sorry for your loss. That is one class act. I hope I can do the same when my time comes. Makes the rifle priceless.

Post title sounds a little risque.

Definitely work on adding more good memories.

Thank you everyone for responding. He had a heart of gold. He passed shortly after receiving the rifle. Have a Vortek tune kit coming Monday. Just received the parts to make the hamster. Looks like it will be a good day. Hopefully can get it set-up for the match this weekend.

Should be interesting.

So cool
I hope my airguns go(whenever I may go) to someone that cherishes them just as you do that one

That’s awesome. Did that some years back with a friend’s new RC car. He didn’t get a chance to race it before he passed. I talked to the RD and I drove his car in a qualifier using his transponder and his name. His wife and daughters and one of his granddaughters got to witness it, then we pulled a printout of the qualifier and gave it to them. Meant a lot to them. I rarely race anymore but when I do his name is still on passenger’s side as co-pilot. Hope things go as well for you and it provides good memories for those that care about him.
