Thanks for the compliments. It was hand-cut by Rick Simmons in Houston. He did a great job and turned it around quickly.

What? You didn't like ".275x57mm Maugby"?

Just kidding. It looks great.

If it's a fair question, what did it cost to have the work done? It really looks great. Could you provide contact details for the person who did the work. Thanks, Hoot

Hoot -for hand engraved lettering, one can expect to pay from $5-$9 per letter... it all depends on how you want it done and by whom.

IMO, it's worth every penny.

Our own Scrollcutter Roger Kehr does great work as he's posted here on several occasions. This work was done by Rick Simmons in Houston. PM me if you would like his email.

I like the engraving too, even though I go on constantly (like a broken record) recommending .275 Rigby instead.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.
