Very nice work, Steven. I really like your metal contouring and the woodwork and line is just superb. Hope the engraving does'nt detract. In my opinion, too many folks skimp on that final touch and don't do a rifle like this justice. If it were mine, I'd opt for at least 75% coverage by one of our best- and there are getting to be some really fine engravers around nowadays.

Barry Hands displayed a very nice Fisher-stocked specimen at the Guild Show last. There were bighorn sheep in a mountain setting played-out along the sides of the quarter rib. Sounds over-the-top, but it was very tasteful as an exhibition piece.

Best,
