It was the one offered a few years back with the imbedded branch. Here's what it looks like all finished up sitting under a slicked up and rust-blued Brno 22F. Caliber is 7X57. All metal finishing work and stock work and fine detail by Craig Libhart of Susquehanna Stockworks except for the scrollwork & fine line gold oval whitetail portrait which was engraved by Gary Griffiths.
Darker photos are true to natural light. The lighter one was shot with some added flash. Craig polished the bolt raceway, ramp and follower for slick operation.

Not bad for a $175 stick. Special thanks to Craig for making it happen.

A rifle to be proud of!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Very nice indeed. tu2
For my taste at least I like the more understated grain in that stock much better than some of the marble cake I see on other rifles.
