All set to go out? Do you already have my address?

Beauty of a rifle. from the angle I can't see what you did to the grip cap, mind another picture or telling us? Or should I just take a picture when it arrives? :-)

That's a fantastic looking rifle. If it shoots as good as it looks, you're set for sure! I'm not sure I'd want to knock it around in the trees though...

Very, very nice, Bill....

Bill,

Thats very nice, but you didnt ask me my LOP, how do you know if its going to fit my long arms

I take it thats English, or at least looks it to me, you got any more banks hid out that that one.

Very good job, nice work.

Bill,

Did Mike K. turn that stock, just curios on whos pattern.

Daaang William!!
Looks great. Not in the same shape as the last time I saw it! Nice work. You make it easy to have my name associated with projects like that

Nice work, Bill.

Gorgeous, thanks for posting, Bill & Jim. What's your next project?

Dago,



Skeleton grip cap - I posted pics of it before I blued the cap.....dont want to bore you with the same pics again!



Gringo,



Thats my pattern....





Our next project (Jim and myself) is a 300 Mag done almost identical to this one only it will be stocked in bastgone. The metal work is already done......



Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Bill,
You did a great job, my friend. I am very impressed. Reminds me to get the file wrapped.

Really, REALLY nice Bill.

Jeff

Great looking rifle Bill!! Now you need to get the doctor out of the stone age and get rid of his Weatherby 45 caps





Nevertheless it looks great. Howard will be out in a week for some Salmon and Trophy Muskie fishing. You think he would make good Muskie food?



-Mike

Beautiful. Great looking wood.

I for one never tire of looking at pictures of rifles like that one.

Mike,

Well I've talked to him about those 45 degree tips.....not sure if I even made a dent. But it is his money.....so.....
Make sure Howard doesnt shower before he gets there.....that way he will smell even better to those Muskies!

She's a beauty Bill. Thanks for sharing it. Is that an oil finish or??

Wstrnhuntr,

Thanks! The stock is sealed with marine varnish (thinned) and then a mud coat with SeaFin Teak oil to fill the pores. Final rubout with rottenstone and the teak oil then a few hand rub coats of teak oil.....one drop at a time.
