Build your own!

*Thanks to Big Fin for letting me post this.

The Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society is raffling a $5,500 credit towards the custom build of your choice with @van franke, owner of Plains Precision Firearms. Van builds incredibly accurate rifles. Below are a couple of examples, but visit his Facebook page to see countless others.

This raffle is only running through September, so purchase early and often. Proceeds go to our Conflict Resolution program to pay for domestic sheep grazing allotment retirements in bighorn sheep habitat. Below are links about two allotment retirements the RMBS has helped to fund recently.

If you are on Facebook, a share of the raffle post I've added to the RMBS page would be appreciated. Facebook won't let us promote links about firearms sales or raffles.

I’m a sucker for raffle for good causes. Donation sent

 

[Nameless Range]

Heck yeah. Just picked a ticket up. Good odds for a good cause.

 

[LongCut]

Im in! Now I can not get picked for the rifle I will not use for the tag I do not get drawn for!

In all seriousness, I am happy to give them money to help the cause.

 

[VikingsGuy]

By purchasing a number of losing tickets, I have not only helped a good cause, I have also improved the odds for fellow HTers

 

[longbow51]

Done.

@Oak if you win this one too will you sell me the other one you won in the first raffle for real cheap. Just wanted to put out Dibbs in case I don’t win it and you do!

I'd love to win this one, but I won't have any tickets in the bin. I've talked to Van about rifle builds approximately 27 times in the last year.

Van is a good guy and does great work.

 

[WNC2500]

Done. Impressive company it appears. Sucker for the raffles. Somebody's gotta win. Why not HT folks!

[Potsie]

Wait, so if I win can I still use the rifle for the goat tag I'll never draw? Do I need to start being rejected for sheep tags now?

So conflicted.

What are you planning on getting made?

 

[madtom]

Good god those groups make me feel inadequate

 

[jabber]

That 28 would be sweet. I'll take it.

 

[LongCut]

Speaking of inadequate......

My google-fu is weak today. Does this fella have a website that I can't find? I have been dipping my toes into the world of a custom hunting rifle and have been snooping around looking for a builder.
