Pictures posted for Mark, he will be along to explain.

Da Stuzen Krag!
vera cool!
Look forward to hearing about it!

Thanks Michael. Rifle is in Virginia, owner has had it a long time, has no idea who built it. Has had it apart and there are no markings to indicate the maker. Obviously a very high quality job by a very capable stockmaker for a very opinionated client. Looks like European walnut too. Don't recognize the tang sight which seems to have a central elevation spindle.

Really neat piece of high end folk art.

Very neat. Some higher quality Steven's rifles had a tang sight with a central spindle to change the elevation but I can't get a good look from the pictures. I HATE THESE SMALL PIX!!
Thanks for sharing. I check the site a couple of times a day just to enjoy something so unusual.

Bigger Picture of Rear Sight

It looks like a Farrow sight.

Scott and others, This has may have been mentioned before, but I've discovered that if you want to make the pictures larger, try this. After you log in, go to the post with the picture and then hit reply to the person that posted the picture. The reply box will show up but then scroll down and the old post will come up with much larger pictures. Weird, but it works for me. Bob

That has got to be the most innovative and stylish remodelings of a bolt action rifle ever.Wish there was more info available on who made it.

Kinda reminds me of a Slotterbeck Sharps in Sellers book and one in Red Jacksons collection that was auctioned years ago with the interesting german silver forearm tip.
