Beautifully executed stunning design! Marvellous wood!
Niedner grip cap and buttplate? Dayton Traister trigger?

Hi Jim:
Great job! You and I have similar tastes, good! My next "sporter is going to look like that!
Your gun has great lines that flow into a very pleasing image!
How about a picture of the other side?
Stay well,
Franchi

Sweet, I like the use of the color case hardening. The forward top of the cheek piece and comb blending makes for interesting lines. I like them. Job very well done IMHO.

Jim,
Really nice work, and a wonderful caliber to boot.

Absolutely beautiful, I love all the little details,
the case-hardened rings, the sling swivels, the way
the stock is shaped by the bolt release.

Nice rifle in a great caliber. I guess I'm stuck in the past because whenever I see a stock built for a scope it just looks like I need to bend the back down a bit...

Mike, does anyone really even own a modern rifle w/o a scope any more? Even lever rifles today have to be scoped. You know you can't hit anything w/o a scope - and a damn good one at that.
