My Bottom Metal, buttplate and custom rear sight base. topped off with Swarovski 1-6. and Roger Kehr engraving The first trophy to end up in the dust will be gold inlaid in the floorplate at later date.

Really beautiful classic rifle. My favorite caliber.

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

That rifle is a treasure! One of the most tastefully executed examples of classic lines and features.

How many down in the mag? 3 or 4?

I have ZG47 waiting to become a 8x68s. I can't wait. I'm going to keep the funky factory safety.

Wow! Artisans at work there. As Todd said, the classic lines are hard to beat.

I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills.

Sure nothing wrong with those safeties. I tell folks to just act as if you're cocking the rifle to fire

Another fine package by Duane & enhanced by Roger. Duane got me sold on this style of oval cheek piece.

Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can.

What looked good and was practical a hundred years ago, doesn't leave much room for improvement. A departure from tradition is usually a step backward

Duane: You should see My oval I just re-shaped from a traditional cheek piece. Hah!

Same shape as the subject rifle, yet lacking some of the nuances here.
The fully-sealed pore finish compliments it very well.

I have seen much of your early work. No shame there. They're still bringing $4K-ish +/-. Not bad for burn-barrel fodder. Hah!

Just got a shooting report from the owner. He gets three shots torching with factory ammo @100 yds.

The more I use Lothar Walther barrels, the better I like them
