Oh man.  That is a fine rifle.   You captured the Deep River look very well.  The originals were created an hour west of me.  Yours was created a few hours further west.    :)   Is that a Colerain barrel?   I see the round grooves, but they look wider than Rice.  It could be the muzzle treatment makes it look that way.   Wish that one was headed to my house.   Best wishes,   Marc

Brian,
Very nice.
As usual you have managed to impart a lot of character even in a relatively unadorned rifle.

It is a rifle made by a maker that has an unusual sense of proportion and the ability to present it.Encore please,
