Very nice and I like it a lot. Boy, I sure would like to see a closer look at the carving behind the cheek. It looks like it just belongs on that gun.

For a fifth or fifteenth rifle, that is a fine job. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Nice job on the carving, Guido. It has a bit of a Christian's Spring flair - would love to see more photos and details as well.

Very nice, but why did you mount the trigger guard to the rear so much?
