Some may have seen this one. David Christman built it. David did all of the work except cutting the half octagon. James Anderson did that. As of the vast majority of mine, Roger Vardy supplied the wood.




Oh, it is a double square bridge. It did go back for recase after all receiver work was done.
Never mounted a scope yet and it is unfired. I think he did it about 12 years ago.

Everytime I see photos like this I question my sanity in selling a nice Mexican Action and a three Blackburn bottom metals that I once owned.

Beautiful Rifle. About the only thing I can see wrong with it is that it isn't mine!

I have never taken the time to shoot it. I need to do that this spring.

Very nice Butch!


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.

Thanks Roger,
A guy contacted me today looking for you. Said he knew you a long time ago and indicated that he needed some work done.
Thanks for all the kind words from everybody.

Every one is congratulating Butch. How about some ata-boys for David Christman the man who built the rifle? He is one of the nicest men in the trade.

Any total rifle pictures? This one's too good not to see the whole picture.

That is certainly artistry in gunsmithing.
