"The rifle delivered everything in the field I had expected and you had promised.  As an added endorsement after carrying a rifle for eight days in 100 degree plus temperatures, I really came to appreciate the feel and weight of the Shadow."

"As a side note, the other 2 hunters were shooting 7mm and a 30-06, and they both wounded and lost rams. Also when we got back to base camp, the other 2 guides who seemed to doubt merits of 340 as a sheep gun, both asked if they could 'shoot a few rounds'." Read Letter »
"Later in the hunt we completed a stalk on 6 rams, and I realized the one ram was exceptional, 57-60", and was what I had been looking for. We got within 350 yards and they spooked and started to run. I squeezed off a shot at estimated range of 450 yards and hit him, but he did not go down. The ram was hit hard, but managed to move up a drainage and finally materialized, stopped, and turned broadside. I estimated range at 600 yards and squeezed off another 225 Swift-A-Frame, this time he went down for good. The altitude was 18,125' and the distance of the final shot was 627 yards!"

"On the way home on the plane I got to thinking, this rifle and I in a few short years have hunted in over 20 countries for African game and sheep of the world from Canada to Siberia. This last trip was special, I completed my Ovis World Slam of Sheep (12), and all 12 were taken with "340" with one shot each."

"Thanks to Rich Reiley for making this custom 340 that took this elk. Long shot but I took it, 400yds plus, because I knew the gun and how it shot. I used federal ammo factory, loaded with 225gr. Trophy Bonded bullets. Money is no object when you get a bull like this. THANKS RICHEY."
