    Even if this is not the business forum, it takes a rude and insensitive jerk to tell someone's in his face that his rifle is ugly. Seriously, what will your reaction be, if I run up to you and tell you in your face your wife is fat, ugly and unattractive?? In an internet forum, you will get kicked out. In real life, you will get punched out.

    The is the internet but this forum is private. When one signs up for an account, one agrees to a set of terms of use and the forum rules. If one refuses to respect other people, the person will be asked to leave. We don't want to hold peoples' hands - but we will if we need to.
    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... and since no price has been posted, one can only speculate. If the populace has the general opinion that my wife is fat and ugly, I have 2 choices.... I can disagree, believing that my wife is beautiful and love her for what she is.... or I can agree, stand back and say "Holy F&%^, yeah, she's a pig" and go find a new one....

    OR, the POWERS THAT BE can stand up and say "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO YOUR OPINION, YOU WIFE IS WHAT WE SAY SHE IS" and set forth a decree that no man may say anything un-positive.

    Personally, I support the reign of our superiors and agree with their infallible opinion... all others should be burned for their heresy!

    the comment about if you have to ask pricing than you probably cant afford it.....well that is kinda rude......I can afford it, hell I could afford 20 of them but i would never pay that for it....so I would ask pricing just to find out that the asking price is 5 times the price I would be will to offer... I am not saying that all the dudes hard finger bleeding work is not worth the money it sells for.......the rifle is just not worth that much to ME.......I would never spend that on a rifle that i probably would never fire. JMHO......now if it made my coffee and went to work for me then thats differant name the price!!
    Dont Retreat! RELOAD!!

    Superb workmanship. A niche market no doubt; it was ordered by someone to a specific design. My father made his living as an engraver, the trade basically died in the early 60's as etching machines took over. It was the family business as he was taught by his uncle who brought the trade over with him from Scotland. It takes years to learn the trade especially at the level exhibited on this rifle. It is a financial impossibility for these people to be replaced. Business cards and trophy engraving were the bread and butter of the business; that is where the rookies started. Do that for a decade or so and you still might not be good enough to work at this level. An interesting side note is Dad can write backwards really well. A piece of art is what that rifle is, art is a subjective medium.

    Some of these comments are probably made by the AR crowd who think that plastic is great because it is light weight. Hell if you want an accurate cheap rifle buy a savage. This thing is gorgous and im not old im in my 20s. It has probably takens many hours of workmanship to get a rifle to look that way. If you dont like how it looks at least appricatie the time and effort it took to make it. If you like cheap crap go look at the latest norinco. Im sure that there has been some work done to the action so it is probably much nicer to use than an average weatherby even if the accuracy is about the same. Would my tikka t3 out shoot the thing probably but if someone said they would give me either of them free i would take this one hands down it looks pretty cool in my book.

    wow, nice shooting rifle I'll bet. I appreciate the level of craftsmanship but find the final product kinda tragic looking. Hope you find a buyer that likes it.
