No, he mills them from a block of steel.

Doc 52,
Im sure you will not be disappointed and your rifle will be worth waiting for. It sounds like you have been going about it the right way - going out there to discuss it etc.

338x74R
Here is a somewhat fuzzy picture of my front sight. Sorry the camera doesn't focus close enough to get it clearer. I have a gold bead but probably the ivory would be easier to see in low light conditions.

The engraving is just like Wombats rifle but as you know, one could get a special engraving done if you want. The butt pad is a Pachmeyer. Butch picked out the color of the pad. My rifle is a PH model.

Thank you Palmer,
this is great news. I have been looking for the red Pachmayr delelerator pad for a long time. I just checked their web-site, and they have recently reintroduced it!

Palmer,
You have an awesome DG there, Butch makes a truely fine DG, in my honest opinion. I met with Butch to finalize my .577NE
I must express, that this was definatly a great experience for me! Butch is, with out a doubt, a great gun maker, as well as a staight shooting, no bullshit everyday Joe! I cannot begin to express how much fun I had with him! He makes a fine DG! I cannot wait to post photos of my finished .577NE!

Peace, Through Superior Firepower!

I am no expert in such matters but my discussions with Butch led me to believe that he machines his action "in-house" using a block of steel and a computer controlled lathe.

Wombat, your understanding is correct.

Wombat
You are correct, I have seen first hand Butch's operation! He has a CNC machine that he uses to machine the actions of all of his rifles, be it DG, or bolt!

Peace, Through Superior Firepower!
