Doc52,

I have the same gun in that caliber and with the same engraving. It's awesome looking !!! The second stock looks a bit better to me but the stock on a .577 is pretty thick through the wrist,it has to be, the recoil is substantial but manageable with practice. Your Son Clark has seen the pictures of my gun and the scenes were engraved by Russell. Who is doing your engraving?
