I just finished this and delivered to the customer in time to put under the Christmas tree. It is a 7x57 on a VZ24 action with 20 inch barrel. I used Duane's bottom metal and trap-door grip cap, a Glen Fewless butt plate, and home-made forend cap. The metalwork, rust bluing and stockwork was by me, checkering by Pam Wheeler, and engraving by Mike Gouse. I want to give special thanks to Steven Hughes (SDH) for helping me with some of the fitting of stock metal and shaping, and lots of encouragement. We did this work during one of Steven's Stockmaking seminars a couple years ago. | ||

A very well executed rifle! Cool gun. 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. | |||

Wayne, It looks great as I told you it would. The mid-length schnable on the forend worked out quite nicely and that cap you made helps gives it a very long and lean shape. The rust bluing is lovely and matches perfectly on all parts. It is a lovely rifle, in a great cartridge and it was my pleasure to work with you in my shop! ACGG Life Member, since 1985 | |||

Fair piece of timber. And by that I mean fantastic. | |||

Blanks in that length are hard to find to begin with, and finding one so nice was a huge bonus. It was one of those blanks where the more you cut into it the better it got. | |||

who is the three position safety by? KJK | |||

The safety is from Recknagel as are the sights and scope mounts. The trigger is a Timney. Don Markey made the bolt handle blank, which I massaged quite a bit. | |||

A friend of mine took Steve's class and I must say the level of design and execution went WAY up. Good influence, good job by all | |||

Really nice work. Really nice wood too. I’ve always wanted to do full length stock, never built one. Never done a two piece either. Started on a Savage 99 but lost interest. Billy, High in the shoulder (we band of bubbas) | |||

A classic beauty, with long and lean lines, like a purebred greyhound. I love it. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||
