That looks great. I'm suprised at how much barrel is showing on the sides, and how right it looks.

Dr Tim,
We'll done Sir. I absolutely LOVE this gun.  The architecture is amazing. Love the English guns. In letting, carving, engraving are exceptional!
Now, that said..... I have just one criticism...... The patch box. Too big, too clunky, too square. Please slim that thing down, and make that thing PERFECT!
Love ya man!

That's a fine piece of gun making in my book. Im not sure I'd like to shoot it at 6.5 pounds but then its not one of those narrow crescent buttplates like on a Hawken so maybe it would be a whole 'nother experience. Keep us posted when you sight it in.

Doc,

That is a real fine piece of work.  Your craftsmanship has improved enormously over the years.  That is a rifle to be proud of - big time!
