Wilbur Hauck Rifle - ca.1960 ?

Not mine, but I thought a picture of a Hauck rifle, made by Vermont maker Wilbur Hauck in the late 1950's - mid 1960's, would be interesting.

I've only seen one of his rifles and that was quite some time ago. Don't remember the caliber but was a beautiful rifle. Frank

Used to be a magazine gun writer named Roger Barlow.  He often showed his Hauck in articles on varmint hunting.

I think his rifle was a 219 Donaldson Wasp.
