Fantastic Craftsmanship! Although I like iron sights (a lot) I am good with the way youve done yours. To me they are more of a "break glass in case of fire" system that rarely gets used in practical hunting situations. For a DG rifle they should be mandatory, but not so much for a 7X57. Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing. | |||

Thanks again everyone for the comments, much appreciated. On the sights debate, I've taken 2 Sambar deer with this rifle so far, both at about 30 meters. Turns out iron sights would have been all that I needed! Thought I would add a few more pics of the lettering that was expertly chased by engraver Ron Croxon. Regards, Metal.   | |||

That stock looks more awesome every time I look at it. Wow. Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can. | |||

Well done, sir. Good attention to detail, like under clocking the bottom metal screws and drawing down the stock to the new bottom metal. You are worthy! Hair, not Air! Rob Martin | |||

WOW! Just WOW! "...I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprize, and independance to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks."

One of the best I've seen lately. In fact DCPD is building a similar 7x57 for me now based upon a copy of an old Rigby stock with a 20" featherweight barrel. It's going to have an incredible piece of American Black Walnut. Should come in under 7.5 lbs scoped. Beautiful rifle and congrats. That's a real keeper!!!

Yes I did the bolt checkering. Not something I do much anymore though, would rather buy one already done and weld it on. | |||

Everytime I look at this rifle I see something new. What fascinates me are the transitions from metal to wood, and more specifically from square to round. | |||

Are these Leupold Dual Dovetail mounts? And can you give details to the barrel contour and length? Thank you! | |||

Thanks once again for the compliments everyone. Jaeger, l made the bases then silver brazed Leupold Q/D rings into holes drilled in line with the bore. When I sighted it in the windage was almost spot on. I'm away from home at the moment but will measure the contour for you, l do remember it was 22" though. | |||
