new_guyHoney Badger Engraving
We see lots of elephants and buffalo engraved but not too many honey badgers.

Todd WilliamsAs Marcus said on the Buffalo engraving, that's some nice scratching!!
It is a bit unusual to select a Honey Badger though isn't it. What's the rifle caliber Chris?

LHeym500What caliber?
Honey Badger don’t give a damn! Would have to be in gold, if not small, engraved on the barrels. Luckily, someone has better taste than me.

Todd, you took the words out of my mouth.
I also wonder about the chambering considering the engraving. I suppose there isn’t a hard and fast rule that the art must be representative of the game intended, but it would seem fitting.
There has been a fully custom .300 H&H in the custom section here and the floor plate was left blank to later be engraved with the first African animal it takes.
Chris, well done again.

new_guyThis was engraved on a 470.
It's the first engraved honey badger that I've seen, but I think it works. The client was quite pleased as well; that's what matters most.

Big Wonderful WyomingI don't mind the badger engraving, but I think all the engraving should be the same type. Looks like a lower grade rifle and the animal was engraved later on.

Makes more sense than the Italians who engrave only naked women on a hunting double rifle instead of animals.. The women need to be hunted with different type of GUN!

I think that the 470 is perfect for Honey Badgers but others say that they like the 500 for more stopping power.

Beautiful!
That would be perfect on any double rifle.

Use Enough GunNice!
For some, getting a honey badger has been multi safari effort! For others, not so lucky yet!

Russ GouldThe background is very well detailed, most game scenes have rudimentary backgrounds. And it's hard to engrave feet ... that's why most animal depiction hide the feet in vegetation. The engraver shows great skill and courage with this work.
