Dale Hegstrom, after 20 years of working for the better gun shops in the country, decided to settle down in his hometown of Spicer, Minnesota, and offer his own gunsmithing services. Starting with a case trimming product called the World’s Finest Trimmer, he moved on to other products, but his first love was custom rifles.

Realizing that, for the most part, the long-range rifles built today are not really practical hunting rifles, he designed the gun shown on these pages. He calls it a “concept rifle,” with the idea that it would be at home in a deer blind or on the African veldt for plains game.
