Critique my TVM Grand

[Kopfjaeger]

Do you really want an honest critique of this rifle? I will, but you probably won't like it.  For now I'll just say it's a standard TVM product and let it go at that.
 I gotta comment on your drawings  and dimension specifics  you sent the builder. If somebody sent me specifics such as these I'd tell them to find another builder.
Choose an experienced builder and let the builder build the gun, he'll know more about it than you will.

I have never owned a TVM rifle, though I have handled a few, but I have also never been a TVM basher.  They make a good contemporary longrifle product.  I like your rifle and I am sure it will be a good shooter.  Admire it for what it is--nice lines and fine wood and made from quality parts--whether or not it conforms to any old school.  It is not a gun I would buy for reenacting, but for targets/hunting, it should be fine. There are few builders who make perfect rifles--and most that do happen to post here  .  What were those old song lyrics...you can't please everyone, so just please yourself?

Kermit.........I can recall building a gun with "claro" walnut, and you coould see a splice mark in the butt area of the gun..
...two different pieces that grew together, kind of neat.   I always liked claro for the colors that you would find....Don

I agree Mike, that IS a problem, the few that can build perfect examples of historical rifles all post here.
