The rear sight gave me thoughts of Sapergia too.  ;D

Absolutely splendid!  Very impressive patchbox also.

For some reason, I thought of Daryl's brother!

I am flattered!  I think this rifle is a steal at 3K USD.  What a hunting rifle!!

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

LOL - couldn't agree more, Taylor. What a buy - all engraved and EVERYTHING!
Great sight too - pull them all up by the back-side of the big one, then fold down those you don't need.
I wonder what the R.O.T. is.

The more I look at this, the more I see, and the more I covet.

The artwork is splendidly done, and totally fitting for a prime hunting firearm.  I would presume that the exterior of the trigger guard is done in the same manner.

When did back-action locks appear, and by whom at first?  And when did they become really popular?  I have several of them, and am building a Deringer pistol in .50 cal which uses a BA lock.

Still wanting this Kavenaugh rifle!
