Happy New Year to you!

Now I have to ask, are there a lot of Jewish hunters out there? I just gifted my dad's .30-06 to my nephew. His father is Jewish (and a good guy) but he has no concept about hunting. Under Jewish law, my nephew is not Jewish, but still pretty close! We'll see if he becomes a hunter.

You are a good uncle regardless of the Jewish birth order. As far as other Jewish hunters i am not sure. I sure hope there are more out there!

Well there's Saul.
I inherited the .30-06 when my dad passed. I have another '06 as well as many other rifles that my own grandson will inherit, but he didn't know my father. My nephew did know his grandfather, so What thought it should go to him.

It he story of the rifle is that it was custom built in Germany just after WW II for a friend oh my father. In the late 50's he sold it to my dad. It is a beautiful Mauser with trim lines, a Schnabel fore end and a little engraving. It has express sights and a quick detach scope mount. The well-known gunsmith Ed Lapour good me that the mount was something special and I should make sure nothing happened to it. One of those guns you just love. I wanted my nephew to have his grandfather's rifle. He says he wants to kill feral hogs with it as they are destructive in the California environment where he lives.
