Finally acquired a flatside Frame. It is a Matte TCA 1999 Limited Edition (Not sure but was told only 38 were made). If you are sure how many were made Please let me know. Barrel is OTT 16 inch step barrel in 20 VT. Forend by Tony G and grip by Dave D from a Black Walnut tree cut by my Dad (he cut it when I was 12 & I am now 64). Wears a BullBerry mount with Burris Signature Rings. Leupold fine crosshair VX-III 8.5-25x50mm. At almost 10 pounds it just sits rock solid in my Fuzz rest and makes me look like a Marksman LOL
Safe shooting

It is a 20 VarTarg. I never shoot alone, everytime I shoot it My Dad is watching from Above. Probably Mom also, as the Walnut blank I used was originally cut to make a Mantel for Her fireplace. Unfortunately Daddy never got around to it. It was 4 inches thick by 16 inches wide by 96 inches long. I believe Dave made me 7 sets total out of it. The Kids and Grandkids (Who shoot) got a set to enjoy. All the wood wasn't perfect but it sure Feels PERFECT to Me.
Thanks
