Champlin & Haskins Rifles?
« on: December 03, 2009, 08:49:48 AM »
Champlin & Haskins was a custom rifle shop in OK that designed, patented and manufactured their own action and built beautiful custom rifles.

Does anyone know what happened to them?

Champlin did build some beautiful rifles on their own action.  They were  heavy though.  Owned a Champlin rifle in .358 Norma Magnum until I gave it to my son.  The company went mostly out of business.  They still do some gun work, mostly refurbishing fine shotguns.

Had no idea they were worth this much money.  May take that gun back.  ;D
