While out shooting at my dad's range, he brought out his Jack O'Connor tribute rifle he had Al Biesen make for him in 1971 so I could snap some pics of it.
Based on a pre-`64 Model 70 and chambered in .270 Winchester (of course) it cost him $764 in 1971. Just a gorgeous rifle that he used to take his first Grand Slam with.
This is the rifle back in the 70's...
And this is it today. I apologize for the crappy lighting and background (my dad's butt...) but I was thankful I was able to get any pics at all of such a legendary rifle.
The thought of this rifle being mine someday is just overwhelming.
