Just scanning some old Epps pages, thought some might get a kick out of these.

I like those old catalogues. The old SIR was always around the farm when I was a kid. It's a classic.

Love reading old stuff like that. Thanks for posting.

SIR, remember them for sure. Had the old catalogue worn out in a couple months from thumbing through them, dreaming. Teenager with no money and a sickness for guns. Wish I'd invested in the cheap milsurps back then.
Ellwood Epps built some nice customs back then.

Ya, I went looking for old SIR and Districorp, more Centurys etc to scan, but they are hard to find. This one is 120+ pages, so its taking a while. Saw some old remington parts catalogues at the gunshow today, honestly thought about you when I saw the 720s etc, but passed on them.

In those days I would go to Epps Clinton store.
Have a stack of SIR catalogues from the '70s.

Thanks, might pass on 250pgs though. Took about 5 hours to do about 130.
Anyway this one is done.

Yeah, 1962 when Canada was still half-assed normal.

Too bad I was too young to understand what was to come.

NAA.

Me and you both.
At the time dad would show up late Sunday afternoon unloading his hunting harvest.

I still have pretty much every SIR catalog from 1969 until they changed over to Cabelas. When I was a kid in school back in the 70s those SIR catalogs were like a bible to me, I carried them along with me with all my other school books at all times.

Dosing,

All that stuff is p-r-i-c-e-l-e-s-s, at least for me. Thank you !

Especially the Range Comparison Chart with the iron front sights. "Do you still think that buck you got last year was bagged at 500 yards ?"

I think 'there's an app for that'... you just take a pic of each page and it automagically does the thing, and you get a nice digitized copy in hi res. And I mean you can organize, format etc. any way you like.
