Super nice! I like the 'pinched wrist' idea; a clever solution. Those FZH's are impressive.

Dang, that's pretty. I thought your skills were slipping but maybe not. I'm raising my standards back to where they used to be.

Extended top AND bottom tangs?!?!? That's just pure filth! I would have them on every gun I own. Looks fantastic!

Wow... that is a classic big-bore. Well done Mr. Wiebe!


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.

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Very nice - really like that caliber. It looks like the fun part is yet to be done....filing in the iron sights.

What does it weigh?

What scope will it wear?

Mr. Wiebe:

Beautiful rifle.

A question: Why did you move the front scope base from the action to the barrel?

Thanks.

I'm doing my best to scare off competing customers. Every time Duane posts photos like these, I feel my projects getting pushed further and further out in time.

I am pretty sure Duane knows how I feel about the quality of his work. I am just trying to crash the secondary market for his rifles so I can buy them cheap. On the other hand, when it comes to Forrest telling stories . . . .

Top notch. Do the barrel and action metal have a finish on them or are they chrome molly in the raw?

I don't know what it will end up weighing. Maybe Duane can answer that one.

I plan on using a Swarovski 1-6x24 EE.
