Connie is one of the very best around. An artist, photographer and a world class hand checkering master. She has done 7 rifles for me. My favorite checkering pattern has been the lion tails that she did on my safari rifles. Her husband Leroy has customized the same number of rifles for me as well. Years ago, she and Leroy worked for Cooper Firearms before they left to start their own business: Canyon Creek Custom Gunstocks, LLC. Check out their website and some of the beautiful guns they have put together!
