Hello again forum members, I have attached some updated pictures of my completed rifle as promised. This rifle is balanced beautifully, feeling much lighter in the hands than its 7lb.10oz. The express sights are a joy to use and the rifle really shoots!!

I wish to express my gratitude to my mate Charlie Curley of the Custom Rifle Company in Townsville for his precision metalwork, his style guidance and for seeing this project through the many challenges to produce this great hunting rifle!

I would like to sincerely thank and acknowledge Gordon Cusens for his artistic talent with walnut, as well as his personal touch spending hours understanding my needs. I am sure you will agree that these pictures speak volumes about his workmanship and style!

I would also like to thank Ron Croxon for his top quality engraving inlay work!
