That image deserves a re-post! What an absolute beauty. My friend is a custom cabinet maker/trim carpenter and i've seen some of his work and it's right in line with this.... wood art perfection. There's just something extra about wood and all the attention, blood, sweat, and tears that go into polishing the coal away from the diamond.Did some final fit up and light assembly. Now I sent the stock off to get checkered. It will be several weeks before the shooting starts!

Thanks! Sent it off to Tim Smith-Lyon at classic checkering. He seems like a good guy, has a 12-week lead time right now, so I expect the stock back around the end of March, early April.
wow!
reminds me of the old school weatherby mark V's

THANKYOU!
At long last, assembly is complete and I am looking forward to trying her out! If I can't shoot straight, at least I'll look good doing it

Man that's a beautiful rifle . I literally have 6 walnut logs on the trailer now to saw with my mill . Been thinking about sawing out some stock blanks . I don't know what to look for on them though . But the other ones I've already cut made beautiful lumber.

I don't think I could take that in the woods. You did a helluva nice job. Congrats on a gorgeous rifle.
