Jóhann Vilhjálmsson's 7x57 R - pics added
#112123 - 20/08/08 12:30 AM

New member and Iceland based gunsmith Jóhann Vilhjálmsson has sent me some fantastic pictures of a 7x57R double rifle that he is currently building in Iceland. We should get more pictures as he completes this rifle. He is also building a 470 NE rifle and I shall be pestering him to send pictures of that rifle too.

Good viewing and good hunting, everyone!

The Nordic scroll work and engraving certainly makes it unique. Very nice.

My pleasure, gentlemen, as far as posting ictures is concerned. As someone who gets them first, I do have a somewhat selfish motive in this.

But then, there is always something to enjoy in a magnificent work of art. Here are some more pictures that Johann just sent me:

Good hunting, everyone!
