Bill Goodman
Just got off the phone with Bill. He just picked up a dozen rifles from Shiloh. Including mine! Some folks will be getting happy calls in the next few days.
Limber Up!

Re: Bill Goodman
My mistake, congrats on the new rifle. Just looked at the Guns International listings the “semi fancy” wood is a bit disappointing on the pictured rifle, pretty straight grained for most of its length.

Re: Bill Goodman
Luke, your on the money with" pictures rarely do wood justice". I have found on my phone when I go to the Shiloh catalog that once I pick out a model and turn the pic horizontal and expand it. I can get a much better view of the figure in the wood. Bobw

Re: Bill Goodman
I'll admit that the picture he posted isn't very flattering for sure. I did in fact get one of these rifles and the wood on mine is much better than the picture on the GI web sight. I'll try to post a picture in the next couple days.

Re: Bill Goodman
Thought that looked pretty darn good to me. Very tempting actually..if I wasnt plagued with the shipping and the exchange rate
The 'grab it now' vs the wait is appealing too and love that stumpy little cartridge. A lot more capable than some give it credit for. I'll just sit this one out though.

Re: Bill Goodman
I get it, I have two rifles on order, they will have their third birthday in July. Not complaining, that's just a long time to wait. That's why I went with Bill Goodman, for this 50-70. Don't get me wrong, I wanted it, but it was also sort of a trial balloon for Mr. Goodman and his acting as an agent, so to speak for Shiloh.
He passed with flying colors, good experience from start to finish. I will utilize he services in the future without a doubt.
