Real nice looking engraving.  I love the loose nature of it.  It seems many professional engravers who aren't rifle builders miss the feel of longrifle engraving, but this has captured it well.

Tim Adlam is a friend of 25 years and is a very talented engraver/artist who resides in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.  Tim has the faculty to "put on different hats" depending on the style that's suitable for the gun and it's time period. He engraves guns from the early LRs to modern stuff w/ equal artistry. My usual instructions to him.......don't overshadow  my humble attempt at building a LR w/ your engraving. He also does knives and various other projects needing his expertise......Fred

As friends, I just drop off the brass  parts along w/ a pic from one of the references and he does his "own thing". When he's done, he tells me the price and that's it.  Possibly Marc can relate his experience w/ Tim......Fred

Dan, Google Tim adlam engraving.....it will take you to his site with his contact info. He charges by the hour, and a very reasonable rate. I send the parts, with a copy of the idea and or just turn him loose, as a true artist he is!......wrap up your parts, insure, and mail them to him.....current backlog is around 30 - 60 days on some items, I think.
There are other great engravers, some are right here, I just know Tim, and have been asking him to do thing for years......

Good luck on your rifle...
