To each their own I guess, but what would you do with it? It's not something you would use, it's not like you can hang it on your wall for everyone to see like some Rembrandt unless you put a locking device on it that would end up taking away from the masterpiece that it's meant to be. kind of expensive to have sitting in the safe collecting dust but on the other hand!! If one can afford to buy it I'm sure they can afford to do whatever they wanted to with it and that includes bashing it around in the bush so like i said!! To each their own but it would not be owned by me. Just my 2 cents and that's all it is.
Your chance to own a jewel of a rifle. Inquire within.

Thats a nice rifle, and would be a real show piece, however those big diamonds with the red ovals just really look out of place on the stock. IMHO, they really clash and makes the stock look a bit cheesy. Those diamonds make the gun look like its meant to be used by a mexican hunter that travels the logging roads in a 1963 chev impala low rider, with hydralics.
A real shame about those diamonds with the red border. That gun probably won't sell, unless it can be shipped to mexico.

Totally agree, IMO it takes ugly to a new level.
Isn't there a thread on ugly guns, this is a good one for that.
I'm not disputing any of that, except for the "big picture" part. I'm seeing the big picture, and the big picture, is of an ugly rifle
like I said incredible worksmanship, ugly result.
I don't see anything attached to your username that says you're a Moderator, so ease up there captain 'cause barking your bulls**t orders is an exercise in futility.
Secondly, as far as I'm aware this is the intranets, someone posts an image claiming something is positively bad-ass they better be prepared for criticism. It happens to everybody, it helps to have thick skin and some people get as emotional as a three year-old who just watched their sand castle get washed away by the tide.
As for the rifle in question "interesting" is the only way to describe it.
I'll be watching this thread to see if it sells.
I'd pay $10k for that first, because once I strip the crap off of it underneath its a Hino. The other one is still a Weatherby.

If they spent a few roopees on brake shoes and an annual inspection instead of all that bling maybe they could have avoided ending up at the bottom of the ravine.
I want to take this opportunity to remind everyone. This is the business private forum. This means people will pay the proper respect to the business as this is essentially the business store front. No respectable individual will go into a store and tell the store owner in his face his product is ugly in a demeaning manner. To do so is rude, devoided of manner and disrepectful.
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.
Look how much quieter it got.
I have seen one of these in person and have had the chance to run my hands over one. They are much nicer in person than in pictures. As mentioned the blueing is superb and makes my Python look damn near bargain bin. The inlay may not be everyones cup of tea, but the craftsmanship is excellent. I personally would not shoot it either as I have other rifles that I can beat the bush with. BUT, that is just me. If I had the money, I would buy this rifle as it is a piece of art to look at. I unfortunately do not, but somebody does and will buy this rifle. It isn't meant for everyone, nor should it be. My opinion only of course.

I said "pardon". I SNAP! LOSE IT! I head fake 'em with a piece of cake and the idiot goes for it. Heater to the heart, smoker to the jaw, and a fluree to the solar plexus. He was out cold, face first in the ground. I said "hows that Mr Knuckles, Did I blow my wad in Misses Champs face good enough for yea."
Id rather buy this as art to hang up on the wall then to buy a $10,000 painting. I'd give in and shoot it though. I have $200 kitchen knifes that are a work of art and everyone complains that I shouldn't be using them since they're so pretty. Screw that, its a tool. Plus, expensive quality knifes are easier to sharpen and their edge lasts way longer.

It wouldn't be art if it didn't inspire love in some and loathing in others!
I have tended to find art in simplicity, but that may come from being poor
One ought to respect the time and talent it took in creating something like that. Certainly took more time and talent than 'Voice of Fire' which went for a cool 1.8 million.
I stood in front of that painting for 10 minutes, and all I could see was every t4 I had ever sent into revenue canada.
Thank you for the pictures of the rifle, I'm certain that it will make someone very happy.
