Ok, another update on the .577 NE 3" Butch is building for us. I received these pictures from the engraver yesterday evening. His name is Mark Swanson from Arizona. He has just about finished with the scroll work and is now starting on the three animals (elephant [penciled outline on the bottom of the action], rhino and cape buffalo).

He is still trying to figure out what might be best for the bolsters on the sides of the action (if anything at all).

I understand this style of engraving isn't for everyone, but based upon what my father and I decided on, we are very pleased with what we saw.
