RIP4.20 Kg of steel-appeal that handles and shoots as well or better than any H&H or J.Rigby, I'd guess. Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

elsyou should be a gunsmith
If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem.

gumboot458........Very Nice Guillermo ... I really like the shortened fore end , and the barrel band for the sling.....It is all nice .. the checkering looks just right ..The grip cap is very very nice ... I wouldn,t call it a poor mans DG rifle at all ...Remember you wouldn,t use a lamborgini to plow snow with ....You seem to have the touch for rifles .......

Thanks, Very Kind, this rifle took 3 asiatic buffaloes (3 bullets), has some scratches (see on crossbolts photo) formally "Hunting scars" and rusted from bloody hands, but I like that, those all marks were made hunting, not showing it or just shooting at the range !!!I if was Saeed I will be using a hight expensive double with gold and Ivory inlays and surely making new scars!!! That adds value to a hunting gun !!! But I dont-

Your rifle is a very nice working gun.
I like rifles that are field grade working guns.
Nice checkering on the cap.
Keep up the fine work.
Cheers,
