It is truly a thing of beauty!My most valuable firearm; a completely custom built rifle by Mel Smart based on a pre-`64 Winchester Model 70 action and chambered in .35 Whelen. It was originally built as a moose rifle for Alaskan hunts. It was a gift from my father and is insured at a replacement value of $17,500 based on current prices of similar rifles.

The stock was one of Mel's early prototype Accra-Bond laminate stocks that sought to combine the attributes of laminate designs with the beauty of a custom hardwood stock.
