In the midst of planning a trip across the pond to hunt DG in '07 (Buff. and Leopard), and need a DGR. Originally I was looking into the AHR, but have been told that it would be a good idea to check into a custom DGR based on a M70 Classic action by D'Arcy Echols. I've done some searching, and notice he has no website. I also can't seem to find any examples of his work. Are all his rifles done with a synthetic stock, or does he have offerings in wood? For those that have had D'Arcy build them a Ledgend, could you please post up some photo's? Appreciate your assistance. William | ||

No price list. But if you have to ask.... They are so beautiful. Almost gunporn!!! I need to win the lottery. I hunt, not to kill, but in order not to have played golf.... DRSS | |||

William, send Allen Day, who posts here a PM! He has a couple of D'Arcey's rifles, and can tell you anything you need to know about them, including the price! ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

I would say he is the ultimate gunsmith, he is every bit as good as most gunbuilders think they are.. Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

Having looked at DPhillips's post/thread I can only state, I'm breathless. Mr Echols is truely at the peak of his art. | |||

ForrestB's rifles in the thread I posted are actually made by Duane Wiebe and Ralf Martini. Forrest is a graduate of the Reno school of Accounting, evidently. | |||

My mistake. But they sure is pretty. | |||

Can you tell us who does the wood and who does the metal? Or do they break the work down in another fashion? | |||
