Nice work! Beware of the timed screw police though.

I believe these were done in the Central time zone which is one hour behind the east coast.

Very nice, glad to see some one else who likes something other than hinged bottom metal.

I like the idea of having animals on the bottom metal. If I forget what I'm hunting I can simply flip the gun over and make sure.

nice work

I really like to have engraving on at least one rifle.The only type of engraving that means anything to me,is the type that is not traced or produced through simplified means,but one that is done by hand,useing an old fashioned method.One that is soft and has sentimental meaning.One that is not reproduced or made in certain quantities.

Fabulous craftsmanship! As has been said, however, I would think that the overall effect is too ornate for most tastes.

Really like everything about that stock too.

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

Overall a wonderful piece, if a trifle ornate, but for me the effect was spoiled by the use of a less-positive right-side safety. IMO the wing safeties on the right side are accidents waiting for the right opportunity, and have no place on any fine rifle. Left side yes; right side is too easy to accidentally manipulate 'OFF' and to me smacks of ignorance if not something worse. IMO a 3-position M70 style would have been much better, or maybe a ZG47 style.

Other than that, a very nice effort!
Regards, Joe

If I was ever going to win the lotto,

I would have one rifle built that was way over the top. Not so much as gold inlays, but all the bells and whistles and good engraving. Then I'd hunt the hell out of it!
Thanks for the photos (job well done there also). I for one enjoy this...Thank You!
