The big brown truck delivered this yesterday. My photography sucks but the photos will have to do for now. This is a LH Classic in 450 NE with 26” barrels. This is my third rifle I have ordered from Butch and as others have mentioned, the rifles simply keep getting better in quality each year. This rifle will have blood on it soon!

Thanks again Butch!

Roscoe,

Nice looking rifle, great caliber and it looks like it has scope mounts?

Do you know why Butch is putting crossbolts through his stocks now?

Yes it has the scope mounts. I believe another delivery to my house was attempted yesterday but I was not home to take it. Assume it has a few other goodies in it.

Not sure about the cross bolts but I expect Butch will answer your question.

Gotta love a true lefty rifle. Great wood!
Be interested in learning what load regulates in your rifle.
Do you plan on scoping it from the start?


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

What a beauty!

Other than that and being to clean and unscratched it is a beautiful rifle.

What spires, what farms are those?

I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Roscoe,

Cheeked that rifle of yours when Butch was fitting me up earlier in December. Mine will be lefty as well, except that the top lever will move to the right which is, IMHO, easiest for us left thumbers. The pix above suggests you made the same decision, too.

It's handsome and the case colors looked great.

Best of the Season,
Tim
