Very nice rifle, indeed. There is only two details who take my eyes; oversized rear sight foot and "poor mans" wincester safety.

Igorrock,

I can understand your comment about the rear sight island, but you must wait to see the rifle after engraving.
As stated earlier about the "poor man" two positions safety..."it's a matter of style and being more on the "Classic" side, I must confess that I prefer the look of the Mauser shroud to the more modern shape of the aftermarket three positions side swing safeties, with perhaps the exception of those produced by Ed Lapour"

Best.

Yes, it´s matter of taste. Winchester -styled safety goes to same category as cheek piece with carved shadow line which seems to be quite typical to yours stocks. In my eyes it´s "classic" when talking about rifles made in USA, not especially in Europe.

Sorry, but a DORLEAC rifle is a DORLEAC rifle...!
We make them following our own style and we know that if they could appeal to some, they are also disliked by other ones.
That's life !

Yes, that´s true. But, please, do not be offended if someone like me don´t like all those details of yours style. It doesn´t mean to dispute yours competend, just mention that there is other alternatives of style too.

Joel, stunning rifle again. The side panels really look good as well and obviously the superb photography helps. I am not sure why some of the other members feel the urge to tell you what they don't like about your rifles but I can assure you that the rest of us think that they are amazing creations. We should consider ourselves lucky that you take the time to post these photos and give explanations of your work, not many other gun makers do this which ultimately is for our benefit. The American author Tom Turpin has stated in his Custom Rifle books that the best bolt action rifles being produced at the moment are in the USA. Many of them are definitely superb but so are many of the custom guns coming from Europe such as yours and those from Theo Jung to name a few. Thanks again.

Waidmannsheil.
