Thanks for posting! This one is on a GMA action. All integral octagon to round barrel. He just received a Mayfair action for mine which is going to be in a 300 H&H. Going to do swing mounts on that one. Other than that almost identical to this one. Possibly finer engraving. Mac | |||

Beautiful Rifle. Thanks for sharing. Have you had a takedown rifle before? Curious what Ralf’s experience on accuracy is vs a standard rifle? | |||

THAT is true love!  Truly a magnificent rifle, in every way! Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Ralf's rifle are always the highest form of the gunmaker's art! Certainly this is a prime example. 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.

Mac, that will be a fitting back-up rifle to your Marcel Thys 577 double. | |||

Love it, really neat stock inky. I’ve never seen CCH match a stock so well the colours really compliment each other. | |||

Congratulations Mac on a fine new custom. I sort of recall seeing a bunch of these super inky blanks for sale not so many years ago. Might have been on E---. Thought they were too black until I saw what Ralf did with this one. Nice one Ralf! Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can. | |||

About sixty years ago word was out, "We are running out of good walnut". Well, like oil, that may be true, it just hasn't happened yet. Stunning rifle. | |||

Oh my. What a stunning rifle!! A bit of pride of ownership I’d say… | |||

What kind of wood did Ralf use on the rifle and is that a rubbed oil finish - like the matte nature of it. | |||
|
| One of Us |
I would say so..... Wow! | |||

Ralf, is a Friend of mine and a neighbour as well. He is a true master of nis art, but, is now too busy. I have never seen a superior gun artist and enjoy his work immensely. | |||

That is a stunning rifle, congrats. ----------------------------------------- "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 | |||

Thanks for sharing. It is a beautiful rifle and a perfect example of the work of Ralph. He is among the best. | |||

Sorry, I don't get it. I know it is very well-made but it could do with some restraint. The wood grain makes the stock look dirty and the color case-hardening looks like an oil spill. All overdone. In this case, less would definitely be more. | |||

I am amazed in awe at the beauty that I see. Unreal! | |||

I didn't want to be the first to say it, but I agree with Wasserwulf, way too busy for my taste. This is not to say the workmanship is not incredible, credit where credit is due, but I prefer a much plainer overall finish. Everyone has their own taste in these matters. Roger | |||

Neither one of yu shuld feel like party poopers. This is a forum, could be sonething like a seminar...Folks post their produects...perhaps hoping only for polite applause. Polite applause really doesn't accomplish the spirit of seminar. Constraint is an issue and it's fair to point it out . Hope I've chosen my words caredully | |||

Just fine to have different taste in a custom. Sometimes the line can be crossed into "gaudy territory." However, I would GLADLY trade one of my very nice but "plainer" custom rifles for that one. Just sayin... | |||

Exquisite workmanship. Surely destined to be a safe queen. | |||

I like it. I'd be afraid to hunt with it, but I like it... Personally I would take fancy wood with simple point pattern checkering than a more plain stick with crazy ribbon patterned checkering. We all have our own unique tastes, that's what makes this so fun. | |||

No safe queen for me. Take that Miss Universe out and hunt with it, shoot it, love it. Never but a beautiful anything where it can’t be seen!,,, | |||

Yeah...like a gorgeous lady ...Well...ya know what I mean. | |||

That rifle will surely bring pride of ownership to the lucky lady! | |||
