One of my customers turned me loose on his rifle. This was a blast to build and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have free reign. This rifle is chambered in 30-40 krag, hand loaded to hot .308 win velocities. It’s headed to Manitoba for black bear in March.

Stunning rifle. The carving on both the wood and metal is beyond first class.
 
4 days at DSC in a booth immediately next to Bailey...now you guys know why I am having him build my next rifle.

Not too many opportunities to get an entire rifle made by one Craftsman.

Beautiful work Bailey…

The prototype rifle you had at your booth really speaks to me… I think that one is going to be a masterpiece once it’s completed!
 
That looks like a one off European rifle, that they make every several years, putting every once of skill into that one rifle. Like the Rigby elephant skin rifle. The Franzoj Dragon rifle and others.

Simply amazing craftsmanship

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
