I loved the wood work. All in all, by fit and finish, a beautiful rifle. The engraving not so good. Animals are kind of Salvador Dali (the guy with the melting clocks), done by an untouchable veneering with tin foil on meth.

Butch now has a great engraver. But my plan would be to get the best wood, hunt with it during a season, and pick my own engraver to do the work off season.

Note though, engraving is difficult with stainless. You will pay for the tools the engraver uses, since he will wear out a new batch of tools on stainless engraving.

I will engrave naked nubile maidens for free, so long as the model is available during the grueling engraving period.

Seriously, if you do want a future engraving, tell the maker. They need to make things a tad thicker. I've done this with wood but not with metal. If you get a flush mount with a straight lock, you cannot properly engrave. You etch. Looks OK, but it's not engraving.

A very good to excellent engraver will double the cost of a rifle. It is art.

For me, hunting is different. It is an art, not art. I am pretty enough. I don't need "pretty" when I need deadly.

Performance over looks. That's where Butch shines. He will measure you 12 days to Subday (he does not do inseam) and you will get a thumper that you can absorb.

I want fully functional, but I want a nice piece of wood. All of my rifles are like that - beautiful wood, minor scrol, but deadly accurate.

"Give me accuracy, or give me Death". Grizzly, 2005.

All those that quote me, please attribute the quote to me.

Thanks
