what is there to like, you can't see anything, due to the poor lighting to show the gun.

Jim,

Will you have that at the show this Saturday? It would be nice to see it in person now that it's done.

A solid example of a custom rifle that is as practical as it is attractive... congratulations!

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.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Excellent response.

Seems that everyone else can see the rifle just fine.

Agreed, very good looking rifle! (From what I can see anyway

)

And by the looks of your product, I'd say you were a damn fine Gunmaker!

Well done, sir!

Cough cough - even I would have to admit its not bad for a fat guy from Bloomington. I have a nice action that has never been in a fire in case you want to make another one.

Jim, verrrry nice rifle.

two canoes, I got twenty bucks that says Jim does a better job taking pictures than you do of building rifles.

Jim, just as a suggestion: articles I do for magazines, I bought a square yard each of blue, gold, read, and grey flannel material at a material store. I drape them over a sheet of 1/2" inch plywood and just put two 3" drywall screws in to hold the forend and at the trigger guard. Or just lay the material down on the floor and have at it...photographing the rifle I mean...
I have only had one inadvertant wasserman faiure in the last eighteen years...he's joining the Navy next saturday.

Again, nice rifle...
