That is a gorgeous rifle!

My current project. Waiting for the shop to warm up a bit. Sub zero (F) temperatures required me to close it off for a while.

Some great wood gentlemen.
Almost sold this one. Glad I kept it.

WOW! That is some beautiful wood. Actually, the entire rifle is beautiful!

For those that like very dark wood, came from the same tree as the L461.

Metal,

That is a gorgeous blank! The color streaks are really beautiful!

I'm glad Dakota misplaced the alky root

I am loving this thread. Thank you for posting these great pics. Lots of good inspiration for projects here. Keep it going!!!

Can we see the rest of this beauty?
What a gorgeous piece of wood that has not been a safe queen. I would be tempted to restore it like that gorgeous 350 Rigby that is one of my favorite rifles of all time and on this thread.

450-400-3.25 BPE. Going elk hunting with me next year, finally found my ambush location. All original finishes, a wand in the hand.

The rest is gorgeous too! Congrats on owning such a beauty and having the taste to do so.

Nicely done. How was the show? Dallas DSC I assume.

Thanks.

The rifle was built by Keith Stegall. Not only did he build beautiful rifles, he also sold some of the best french walnut at that time.

I have a 16 gauge Fox that I had built 25 years ago with a beautiful piece of Teyssier French walnut. Really nice.

Extended tang added.

Start to get an idea about how the stock will look finished.

Its a double rifle, made from Merkel parts "In the white", caliber 9,3x74R by the Swedish master gunsmith PO Stenmark.

First you have to select the right walnut blank. Some gunsmiths in Europe order from Turkish dealers, some visit the IWA Show and buy the blanks there.

Not so with P O Stenmark, he selects the right three in the Caucasus mountains.
