Sorry to dredge up this old post, but George Parker gave me his .257 Weatherby when I was still in high school about 5 years before he passed on. I still have it in my safe. Yesterday, for some reason George was on my mind, so I began digging around on the internet and came across this thread and another thread about the .257 Weatherby in this forum. It appears you, Mr. Quimby, knew him as well. I lost track of Jacque, I wonder if she's still around. Fond memories.
