I recently picked up this 6mmPPC sako and have been trying to get some more information about it. So far I've been able to establish the following from another gentleman who has on in 6mmTCU:
"It was designed by Steve Herrett and Toney Barnes, and was completely
hand made by Toney. Built from an action in the white in 1992/93, Toney
made the trigger from scratch, hand shaped and inletted the exhibition
stock and put well over 250 hours into each pistol. Toney made a total
of 32 of them, and Steve's son Rod Herrett made 5 out of the remaining
actions."
"Only other one I've even seen belonged to Bill Ruger
(Sturm, Ruger & Co) and was featured on the cover of a gun magazine
many years ago."
Subsequently, I called Rod Herrett on Friday,
April 3 and had a nice conversation with him. He confirmed everything
that I had previously discovered and said that the stock had 30 coats
of oil on it. He said that he still had 4 of the pistols and liked
hearing about where the others ended up. He gave me another name to
followup with (Wayne Wymer?), but I havent had any luck yet.
Any additional information would be appreciated.
