Gale JohnsonI like it, very nice!! Waiting for bottom metal from swift to get started on my BRNO 21/22 in 7x57. I am thinking of going with the standard 60cm on the Bartlein 2B, but I really like the longer trimmer looking barrel, How long is this one?

Jim KobeCorrection needed, the barrel is a L-W and is 23"
Sorry for the pics, my phone camera

Norman ConquestBeautiful piece altogether, but really fine wood. That dbl. cheek piece looks like a Bishop design. Good looks + functional.

JonPThank you Jim. Finally picked the gun up today and its way better than the pictures. The detail and finish are outstanding. Piece of artwork. Can't wait for the range to open. I hope there are young craftsmen coming along. Hate to see this kind of ability go lost.
