What a wonderful story!
My old brain tells me I've read your recollections of that hunt before, but even if I haven't that is a terrific memory to share. I sincerely hope my son enjoys his as much as you've enjoyed yours!
I lucked into a great deal on Winchester years ago, but didn't realize how heavy it would turn out to be. It is NOT one of the Featherweight series, and so far he has only been able to shoot it well from the bench.
I actually gave some thought to having the barrel contour turned down to relieve some weight, but the we would have to fit a couple of dutchmens in the stock to close the gap. Too much fiddling around to get where we wanted to be, and the Husky gets us there asap.
