That thing is pretty enough! It's complete enough that the beauty of the rifle is starting to show through. Thanks for the post. I love to see custom rifles. Zeke | |||

heck of a start! looks like it will be a WELL done rifle!

Nice! 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

Thats a sweet looking rifle, and you just got to love the top of a working smiths bench top. -_____________________ Steve Traxson | |||

That is certainly some fine Norwegian wood. Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can. | |||

Very nice work all the way around. Who did the engraving? You're going to really enjoy that rifle. My 404 is my favorite big bore rifle. ______________________________ "Truth is the daughter of time." Francis Bacon | |||

That wood is unique. Beautiful grain flow and colouring. I don't remember seeing any better recently. Tell us where the wood came from and what it is? I'm going to guess it is bastogne? | |||

Very nice. Just the right amount of engraving. ______________________ Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. | |||

Thanks. Actually, I'm nut quite sure who engraved it. My gunsmith is in Italy at the moment, looking at some double-rifle project. Will ask him when he's back at Sunday. M | |||

The wood is Turkish walnut. Bought it from Paul&Sharon Dressel in the US. Paid around 900 USD, quite happy with the looks. M | |||

Man that is a classic "sow's ear to silk purse" my friend! Beautifully done. Like Forrest, I believe the .404 is my favorite all around DG round. 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.

I wish more manufacturers offered it as a standard option along with the usual 375/416/458 line-up. I want a 404, but ended up with the 416 due to economics. Great looking rifle Metric! ____________________________ If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ... 2018 Zimbabwe - Tuskless w/ Nengasha Safaris 2011 Mozambique - Buffalo w/ Mashambanzou Safaris | |||

That is just outstanding! I love the finish and the checkering. The metal work is real nice, especially the finishing on the sights and leaves.

Keep the government as far away from it as possible, then step back and behold the wonderment and goodness. | |||

The engraver is a lady by the name Anke Brandt, she's a former engraver for the Merkel factory in Germany. She now lives on the west coast of Norway. http://trollstova.no/pages/no/heim.php M | |||

Very fine. I'm pleased that you got the wood from the Dressels, here in my home state. It looks like it was worth every pfennig. A note. Those pop-up scope covers can be noisy. | |||

Just a test scope, will never be used on a hunt M | |||

At the range; The one on top is a full power 400grs Woodleigh RN Sp, the 3 shots below is a reduced load with a 310grs lead bullet. All shots at 100 meters.  M | |||

Very nice. Now it is time to get that rifle in the field and do some hunting with it! Mike | |||
