Liked that a lot when I saw the earlier unfinished version. The finished version is even better. You are very skilled and talented as well as being artistic. I believe that stock profile is about as good as it gets. | |||

It is my rifle, and Aaron did a hell of a job on it. This quality of work is incredible, and when you consider he is not yet 30, it is even more impressive. I love the extended tangs and case colors, and John Todd did a hell of a job on the engraving. Best part is that it is in Tanzania with me now and will head out to shoot a buffalo in a few weeks. ----------------------------------------- "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. -Henry David Thoreau, Walden | |||

My word. Rifles don’t get much better than that! The beautiful wood, case coloring, engraving, gold enlays small but tasteful, red buttpad, slim forend and black forend tip, sights, etc.  And in my favorite big bore caliber to boot.  What is the final weight of the rifle? How long is the barrel? She’d look great in my safe and hands...  | |||

Aaron, that is a damn nice rifle right there. Lovely work. I will just say that the large recoil pad loses a little appeal for me, is it 1.5" pad or are the pics deceiving? Cheers, Mark. | |||

Heart stopping old classic. I could have mistaken it for an original British Mauser action rifle at first glance. Nice wood without the over the top exhibition grade and gloss finish of a safe queen. Nice colour work too. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

Nice work on a fine piece of walnut Aaron and if the customer ordered a thick pad, they get a thick pad. Fine taste on your customers' part as well. Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can. | |||

I'd be curious for feedback from the client as to how that stock design attenuates recoil. Thanks. | |||

With the drop in the heal? My 458 Has plenty of drop so I don't need to drop into the stock and shoots so pleasantly that I can shoot all day long | |||

Jack O Connor was an icon outdoor writer. He and Elanor visited for an afternoon, my wife was mesmerized with his gift of story telling. We were fond of them! Having said that, I think he was responsible for all the BS about straight comb stocks. Some have carried it further by having the heel higher than he comb. Now..darn few humans are built to take advantage of THAT configuration. Looks to me like Aaron's stock would be comfortable to most shooters. The straighter comb evolved because of scopes | |||

To answer a few questions/comments: The hunt and pictures are from Northern TZ, west of Arusha in one of Robin Hurts concessions. I didn't want a pad that thick, but there was an unseen inclusion that necessitated a shorter stock than originally envisioned. I'm 6'4" and wanted a long LOP, and after the inclusion, the pad was the best solution. I don't think I am qualified to comment on the recoil/stock shape. I have only shot one other 404, but it was heavier than this rifle, so felt recoil was less, but not by much. Recoil on this rifle is totally manageable. ----------------------------------------- "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. -Henry David Thoreau, Walden | |||

Very wise to save that great wood. Nice hunt pictures too.
