A VERY NICE RIFLE ..... BUT NOT A LEONARD MEWS RIFLE ... not his checkering pattern, not his grip cap, not his forend tip.

Also, Leonard marked all his work, even during the time he worked at Weatherby .... his custom stocks were marked in the barrel channel ... if he only checkered a stock, he put his stamp under the butt plate. Stocks done at Weatherby only had his initials, not his stamp.

Leonard was a fellow club member here in Appleton, Wisconsin. I collect his work and I have a dozen rifles in my collection.
