bwanamrmBeautiful rifle!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling
Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

DWrightVery nice. . . . I'll take it!

Huntr7X57Very, very nice!
I would like to know what the metal is coated with.
20 December 2011, 19:10
TimanHunter7x57, The coating is the WCC by Balzers.
It's expensive.
From a function and durability standpoint it is really good for stainless or titanium.
I have used WCC on Carbon steel actions as well.
It is not a spray and bake.
It is PVD which means physical vapor deposition.
PVD is the process used to coat drills and other
cutting tools to reduce friction and give longer life. Some of you may actually own drills that are gold coated. Those are PVD coated.
PVD is a very thin coating. near as I can tell
it adds .0006 to .0008 to a diameter, not much.
It is very scratch resistant, it cannot be chipped off. The PVD process lays the coating down at such a fine level that it's more like a super tough bluing.

boom stickThat is one fine lady of a rifle. A fine heirloom!
Absolutely nothing wrong with it. For me the stock is just too pretty though. I could not use it. I guess it is from growing up with respect for fine woodworking and fine furniture. Throw a tough beater stock on it for hunting and then I'd be more at ease. I'm jealous yet I tip my hat to the craftsmanship and style and taste of the owner.

Michael RobinsonI would have to say that that's about as close to perfect as a medium bored bolt action rifle can get.

Hmmmm, not sure yet, you'll just have to lend it to me and see.
I make then try and appeal to your parochial grace and make you an offer, within my humble means, for said article of education.
No chance, some chance, very remote chance...help me out here?
Ps. Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year to you and yours sir!
