Gary Goudy Checkering

Guys,

Thought you might like a look at the Fleur de lis checkering pattern that Gary just finished for me. He also crafted the stock from a stick of Circassian walnut that I provided. The rifle features a G33/40 Mauser action and Danny Pedersen cut rifled barrel chambered for the 25/06. Gary's work is impeccable.

Enjoy.

Beautiful work! The rest of the rifle sounds nice too. I would love to see it.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

How in the HELL does someone make not just one line straight, but all of them...

Very Nice, ready to see the rest!

Guys,

These photos were taken by Gary and the stock is still in his checkering cradle. I won't get it for another couple weeks at the earliest. When I do get it, I'll shoot some pix and post them.

I am not the least bit surprised by the lovely checkering on your rifle. He did the Ottmar rifle as well ... and that checkering is simply beautiful too!

I doubt you'd find anyone who will do a better job. Some that might do as well ... but not likely for be better.

Looks great Tom.
Gary has a video through the guild that shows his effortless ability to generate line after line of precision checkering. He's got that natural talent. He told me at a show that he pinstripes cars too.

Guys,

As I promised, attached are a couple photos of the completed rifle. I still have to mount the scope,of course. While I'm at at, I've attached a couple pics of the latest rifle that Gary is working on for me. It's a 09 Argentine that was originally chambered for the 338 Win Mag. I had Danny Pedersen re-bore it to 416 Ruger. The stock has the first couple coats of finish, with several more to go. It's a stick of California English seedling walnut that I've had for quite a few years.

Enjoy.

Tom
