Gasp! Flower de lilly checkering with ribbons yet! Don't know exactly when I put this one together, has to be around middle/late 1980's judging from other things like swivel treatment, cheekpiece, etc.
Obviously not been battered about

Nice wood figure. Your checkering style does pop especially at the border at the bottom of the grip. Neat swoop to the trigger side of the ribbon. And, it's a 7X57!

I like the look of that slick looking and beautifully polished Blackburn bottom metal on the rifle. The whole shape of the rifle and the bottom metal just looks right.

Beautiful rifle and superb craftsmanship. I like how the forend tip is rounded and not shaped like an upside down plow - seeing a lot of tips like that and can't stand them.
