bwanamrmReally like that one! Classic in a classic sense of the word!
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!

K W JohnstonDuane that is a beautiful rifle sir... I like everything about it!
Folks may say an ebony forearm tip adds a touch of class, but that rifle looks much "cleaner" without one. Thank you for continuing to post pictures of your work.
Do you still have the checkered buttplates available ?
Thanks,

Duane Wiebe (CG&R)One wonders about the wisdom of cutting off a piece of wood to add another...Accessory business sold to Will Nelson uncledeck21@yahoo.com

customboltI (for one) always saw the ebony tip as a protector of the front end of the stock.
No matter. Well done all around. Big fan of the taper of the fore end. One of many similar styles that inspired my last project. Thanks.

AtkinsonI can live without Ebony fe tip, cheek piece, and recoil pads, I prefer straight grained wood properly cured, not much figure suits me workmanship counts..Keep it simple....but they don't sell nearly as fast as marble cake, Ebony, recoil pad, cheek pieces...
the G33-40 SRM has always been my favorite action along with the Brno mod 21, 22, the same action but a tad more refined..but only with non belted cases, the 9.3x62 being its limit for me..
Very nice gun in a best caliber..I would be proud to own it and use it...

Duane Wiebe (CG&R)I'm not condemning fore end ebony, horn etc...At client's request, do it a lot.
If desperate for a logical reason...Well, I guess it does a good job of sealing end grain???

setters5Beauty Duane! Thanks for sharing.

customboltInteresting thought (sealing end grain). Preferences vary. Lack of a tip certainly isn't a deal breaker for me at least in a pre-owned rifle. I own a couple of those, had to buy 'em. Now, a stock cut for a elevator/peep sight is a deal breaker. Like a hotty missing some front teeth in my opinion.
Looking forward to the next one.

Alec TorresDuane - a handsome rifle. My brother has a VZ33 in 280 Remington that was built by Steve Heilman and Gary Goudy on an equally handsome piece of walnut. A really fine piece of work also.
