It should bring in the big bucks.  I sure hope that the one who wins it will apreciate the fine quality and the work that created it.

VERY nice!! Even without the superb carving and wire inlay, the architecture would carry this rifle.  I really like the lines and how everything flows, again, very nice and thanks for the pics!

The tickets will be printed soon.  They come from the Wind River Valley Cowboy Church in Riverton Wyoming.  I will post info as soon as i get more for you.  I believe they will ask $10 each for tickets.
I don't yet have the details, hut i will by this time next week.

Charcoal or rust blue on the barrel?

The rifle is exemplary, as are your actions.  I tip my hat to you.  Well done on both counts.

Wonderful work for a wonderful cause. My experience with Cowboy churches have been very favorable. I would even like to start one myself. At any rate, I would also like to be in on the tickets. Best of everything to you.

As always, beautiful work. I'm not familiar with the Cowboy Church, but I do like the inscription on the barrel.

I too would like a ticket, when they are ready.

Ok guys and gals.
The tickets are not printed yet, but you can send money in, to the Rugged Cross Ranch Ministries at box PO box 2003 Riverton Wyoming [82501]
Or call CJ at  307 851 3647 

$10 per ticket of 3 tickets for $25 6 for $50 and so on.
Because the tickets are not yet printed, if you send money now,  Pastor CJ Vandermeulen will send you a receipt back for the money, and the tickets will be filled out for you by the church in your name in a few weeks when we get them from the printers.


Please include a self addressed stamped envelope with the money so we can send the tickets stubs back to you.

This will be a temporary way to sell tickets until the actual tickets are printed, and then you just buy them normally after that.

Good luck and may God bless you
Steve

That's one beautiful raffle rifle, and I suspect the fundraiser will be a great success to the ministry.

Thanks for sharing the pictures and for the opportunity to participate-
