Gentlemens:

Thanks again for all kind words. There is no craftsman who doesn't like having his work appreciated. In light of that, it is time for credit where credit is due.

The wood is a graduation present from my good friends at Quaking Aspens. It is a fabulous piece of wild black walnut with a layout that is perfect for this rifle. Thanks Cathy and Ray!

The action is a somewhat modified Frank Wesson #1 Long Range reproduction by Mr. Steve Earle. This action is without question the finest I have ever worked with. Both the workmanship and materials are perfect.

The barrel is from Green Mountain, as are all the barrels on my big bore target rifles. I have had very good success with GM barrels and a positive relationship with the company. Good barrels at a fair price shipped promptly. What's not to like?

The stock work was done by Mr. Doug Mann. Doug is a Guild stockmaker (and it shows) and a good friend of mine. It is really fine workmanship.

As noted before, the metal scratching is by Mr. Ken Hurst. You really have to hold it in your hands to appreciate the detail and scale of the work. Mr. Hurst out did himself on this one.

The color case hardening was done by Classic Guns. It was hard to take those beautiful colors off the frame when I grayed it, but you can still see the colors on the block and lever. Classic does fabulous color hardening, and it is real case hardening, not just colors. Knowing that I was against the wall trying to finish the rifle in time, Classic turned the work around in one day. My thanks to the good folks at Classic!

This is a target rifle, and therefore only as good as its sights. The front globe and rear tang sights chosen for this rifle are from Jim Kluskens at Distant Thunder Shooting Products.

The butt plate and grip cap, as well as the rest of the metal work and the rust bluing were done by the head mook here at Mook Machine Works in fabulous downtown Waterford, Wisconsin, USA.

Here is one more picture of the rifle in situ. It appears like it is going to shoot pretty well. The rest is up to the operator...

Best to all,

Glenn
