Wiebe 404 Jeffery takedown photos

I thought you all might like to take a look at another Wiebe rifle. This one's a take-down.

I learned 2 things on this rifle:
#1 I'll never be a photographer
#2 Same as above.
So, I apologize in advance for the pics.

Here they are!

What kind of finish is that ?

I also agreed the engraving is tasteful and just right

Duane, a good can of flat black rustoleum will cover all those grey areas,protect from rust and knock off the glare from the flash as well

Absolutely gorgeous rifle by the way

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

Lovely rifle in a grand old caliber. Duane, was this the rifle you had on display in Dallas at the show?

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!

Well done rifle!

But as far as I am concerned take-down rifle should be in different calibers. Otherwise it does not make sense.

To be able to travel with such a lovely rifle such as that with such a great calibre within a short gun care makes enough sense to me.

What a beautiful rifle! Couple things I learned from looking at this:

1. I want a take-down rifle now more than ever.
2. Grey/French Grey metalwork is beautiful.
3. The extended top and bottom straps are one of the nicest features one can have on a custom rifle. I've seen them on DR's plenty, but not so much on bolt rifles.

hard to argue with what Duane posted, but if this were mine I would take a second on the house or sell a kidney and have him fit a 338 Edge barrel.

just gorgeous...

A late reply to your finish question.

It's my version of French Gray. I apply a metal prep used as a pre-treatment for auto painting. It's a phosphate liquid that I apply and card (like a rust blue without the boil)until I get the right color. A couple of light coats of stock finish and a waxing and it's out the door.
