Very cool, what's the LOP, looks long but maybe just impression with thick pad. Obviously you do to customer wishes but wonder why the need for magazine capacity to be engraved on the floorplate. Seen it before somewhere too. The dark wood is exceptional.

Certainly did a grand job there mate - she's a corker!
To me the engraving is also very tastefully done, subtle yet good coverage over the action & rings.
One hell of a lot of work went into this venture to say the least - all a bit jealous here.
Very well thought out & executed project, keep turning rifles out like this & you will certainly be making more than a name for yourself.

Agree with all of the above--very beautiful rifle..your work is awesome..

Eagle27 - I think I’ve seen capacity engraved in a H&H or some other Brit maker before.

The 1.5” recoil pad is due to needing to cut away an inclusion in the toe of the stock and still obtain the 15.25” LOP the customer desired.

Where did you find the bottom metal? I have an M70 that I'm not terribly impressed with; everything about it screams cheap shortcuts. Makes an Axis seem like haute couture.

Yikes - there really IS a Sasquatch and it's buying custom made rifles.

That rifle has turned out very nice indeed. Superb stock with lovely, tasteful engraving and some nice custom touches. Good on you, super job.

Aaron,
Beautiful work.
Is it a shooter or just a looker?
