The second set of pix has the right sunlight to really show off a gorgeous custom rifle! Congratulations, may she shoot as good as she looks!

An absolutely beautiful and purposeful looking rifle. If the bolt were on the opposite side, and considering how close you live, I might even consider asking to borrow it! Just kidding. Enjoy that work of art.

Can you post a pic of the other side? I'd like to see how the stock maker handled the cheekpiece and the bolt release. Thanks.

Definitely my kind of rifle as well. The right kind of form and function, and one you want to hunt with. Does that hold 4 down?

Very, very nice. I especially like the choice of fluer-de-lis checkering pattern.
The wood is excellent.
Very nice.
I hope it serves you well.

I would assume this rifle was built by Kevin Weaver of Weaver rifles -- http://www.weaverrifles.com/ -- assuming that he is the creator of this magnificent piece of art - I can highly recommend Kevin -- he has worked on several rifles for me -- his work has been exceptional!--- I can recommend his work and integrity without any reservations what so ever.


OMG!-- my bow is "pull-push feed" - how dreadfully embarrasing!!!!!

Is this one of Kevin's rifles? He is building me a .375 Ruger on a pre-64 action as we speak...

Kevin Weaver is the master of design here. The first Rifle I had him build was a 300 win mag necked to 270 with a Pacnor Match barrell 700 action. (It will drive tacks at a 100)Everything I have seen of Kevin's is top notch. thumb

Jim, your rifle is just about as close to perfect as I have seen. How do you like the new Swaro scope? Is that the long eye relief model?
