Thanks for the good work Jim! Dennis Olson did the metal work and Kobe the rust Blue. This was a barreled action that I bought off this forum from Ozhunter. He was kind enough to donate the funds to Stu Taylor. Stu was a PH in Mozambique that was accidentally shot in the shoulder by a client with a 458 Lott.

Very nice work as always.


The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.

Looks to be a solid working rifle! Well done to the builder and the buyer!


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!
- Rudyard Kipling

so how does it shoot?? you know every good gunsmith worth his salt goes out and fires at least 100 rds through a rifle like that, just to make sure it's broken in Big Grin Whistling faint

Gorgeous! I won't forget seeing that stock in the checkering cradle.

I like the super clean metal work and finish of the receiver.

That is a really nice result

There is a lot of elegent simplicity in that rifle.

Kudos to Ozhunter for donating the barreled action.

Congratulations, Chris

Very nice Jim. I like the bolt handle, its very close to a win. 54 bolt handle and ideal for iron sighted guns as the Lott should be in my opine. I also love the peep sight, its perfect for that gun..
