That's a real show piece (cannon) you got there @RR 314 - absolutely love the grain and the scrolling!!!

http://sportsmanslegacy.com/firearm/granite-mountain-arms-404-jeffery-double-square-bridge-magnum-mauser-3-position-safety-41-capacity-smithson-stock-9-4-pounds-98-percent/ Damn, look what I found!!! The original listing for my 404 Jeffery, complete with description and professional photos, far...

Many thanks @BeeMaa - I feel the same way, but you still made my day! When I took it into Matt at Hill Country Rifles to have the scope mounted, he said the craftsmanship was on par with our very top-gunmakers and also made your exact same comment about the stock having the proper grain for...

My GMA double square bridge Mauser in 404 Jeffery. Don’t actually know which smith built it, but am told the stock was done by Joe Smithson. Feeds like a charm and is sub minute with Swift factory 400 gr A-frames.

Rumors are often true @RR 314 and as soon as I can take some pics befitting of that beauty, I will unveil for all to see - "our" rifle is indeed spectacular!!!

Stunning rifle @michael458, and one hell of a buff to boot!!! At first glance from afar looks like birds-eye maple - I love things that are different and absolutely love the contrast with the matte black finish. Well done Sir!

Not a custom, but no reason to gild the Lily! My favorite original Model 70 - a stunning ‘59 vintage Super Grade in 300 H&H. Will have to get some better pics in the sun.

Almost forgot @Fallschirmjaeger - another great guy with quality arms, so buy with confidence from CR - thank you Sir!

Sorry for the dump AH, but I have been remiss in acknowledging all the good guys out there I've been dealing with and that's the only way we can help buyers make informed decisions on who they want to deal with. Consequently, I figured I would try and catch up all at once. If I missed anyone...

I've been doing business with @SkullKeeper for quite sometime now and every transaction is top notch and seems to surpass the prior one. He is as good as they come, never disappoints and I am proud to call him friend! Thanks Amigo!

Had the good fortune to meet @RR 314 in person within the last couple of weeks prior to transacting some business together and you won't find a better guy to deal with. Combine that with a collection of top shelf weapons and that's a pretty tough combo to beat. Thank you TL and looking forward...

Purchased a scope from @JMJ888 and it was even better than advertised - another stand-up guy you can buy with confidence from! Thanks JMJ!!!

Just completed transactions with @Esoteric Junkie , @Arctic97 , @jpr9954 , @Glenn Slaven and @CZDiesel. All stellar guys and a pleasure to deal with - thank you gents!

Count me in for some 10.75x68 brass, if you don't mind. I saw 308 and 338 Norma brass, but no 358 Norma Magnum - I'd be down for that as well, Thanks for organizing!

Just did some business with @BGHNTR416 - a stand-up guy and a pleasure to deal with!!!

The 404J brother I mentioned to @Aussie_Hunter ’s 458 Lott. And yes, S/N was 00063, so I think you are on to something. Have only shot open sights standing so far, so anxious to see if it is as accurate as yours once I get it set up with a scope.

Congrats @Aussie_Hunter - that one is a beauty for sure!!! I have one in 404J and would echo everything you have said. It feeds like a dream, is extremely well balanced, even with the 25" barrel and the trigger is as crisp as any I own. Like you, I believe it is about as close to a custom...

Tom Love the side view and the mass! There is nothing more rewarding than going after a single animal and the subsequent gratification that results in success from putting in the time and effort - well done Sir!

I’ll take the Norma, thanks.

Damn, that's a beauty with peep and all!

No doubt about it, free range Aoudad in West Texas are hard to beat - here is a nice Dodo I took NW of Marathon.

I am remiss in not doing this much earlier, but it only seems fitting to remember my friend David Scott-Donelan on this day, Father's Day. David passed away at his home in Sierra Vista, AZ on 12-27-23 and had a memorial service later in January with family and friends, including old comrades...

Good luck and safe travels Mark!

I'd give some serious consideration to Hill Country Rifles and their Custom Carbon Rifleman as well. I'm a huge fan of Matt and Dave and they have done nothing but deliver exceptional service and even better performance on their builds for me over the last 20 years. It is however this...

I have dealt with @ay2626 on multiple transactions, including a DG rifle and can recommend him without reservation! His merchandise is top shelf! Good luck AY - someone is going to be very happy with this purchase.

Like @uplander01, I believe Matt is on a trajectory that will ultimately see him as one of the very best in the business. Then throw in the fact that both he and wife Katie are salt of the earth, and you just couldn't ask for a better team to work with. Like @Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy, I too...

That's a good looking piece of timber you have there @Altitude sickness - should be a beauty! Look forward to seeing the finished product.

@sproutp2003, I've taken probably close to a dozen West Texas elk cows with the 7mm PRC and an equal number of Aoudad, some at significant distance. Consequently, I think you are going to be golden for your plains game hunt. As all of the gentlemen before me have so aptly stated, stick with...

Great looking weapons you've got there @Reg26 and should be perfect for your PG hunt - I look forward to your hunt report. BTW, where abouts are you located? Looks like some really nice country with rolling hills and appears the Spring rains have been good to you! Good luck and safe travels!

Many thanks, Sir - great insight!

Have had a number of transactions of late with @SkullKeeper. You'd be hard pressed to find a better guy to deal with and I can recommend him without reservation - many thanks Amigo!!!

Just did some business with @CZDiesel and had a great transaction all the way around - he's a solid guy and I would welcome the opportunity to do more with him!

I have direct email for a couple of their USA execs and will DM you when I get home later this evening - that way you can go straight to the source.

Thanks for the follow-up and additional detail!

Oil finished stock only and nothing major - minor cosmetic at most.

Thanks. Sounds like the actual process itself is very similar to the technique described by @cash_tx, with the only difference being you go hotter longer, correct?

Thanks. Forgot to ask - do you have a preferred oil you like to use? BTW, love your license plate - way cool!!!

Thanks @cash_tx for the insight - that's good stuff and very much appreciated! I've got some rifles with your normal run of the mill safe dings along with dents from being out in the field, etc., but was always under the impression I was just stuck with those .... until I read your post. They...

I read with great interest today as @cash_tx made a comment in his twin .375 Whitworth's thread about steaming the dents out of his brother's stock. I didn't want to hijack that thread and ask then, but it peaked my curiosity. I would like to hear from those in the know what that process looks...

Very cool and good thing he called you! I try and do the same thing with my kids - when the old man goes to the happy hunting grounds, there will be a fair and equitable distribution of like calibers, so need to fight over them, lol!

That is a fine looking set of tried and true "brothers" you have there - congrats!!! Very cool that you have your Dad's rifle and your brother has one that rolled off the same year. Curious if he had been actively pursuing one just like yours or if he just stumbled across this one out of the...

Took the CZ 550 out for its maiden voyage this afternoon and could not have been more pleased! Handles great and recoil with the Lott ammo was only marginally more than with the WM ammo - was shooting 500 gr factory rounds out of both. I had different POI between the Lott and WM rounds as...

Excellent, thanks!

Thanks Mark - I will start with those loads and see if I get the same results.

I will definitely make sure I do that - thanks for the tip!

Absolutely, thanks!

I'll give it a whirl this weekend, thanks.

I was hoping that would be the case, thanks!

Good evening - I'm looking for a little guidance on the subject. I just acquired a CZ 550 in 458 Lott and have a few questions about ammo use. I have always heard one of the great advantages to owning a Lott is the ability to use 458 Win Mag ammo if you were to ever get in a pinch. I have...

Just received a CZ 550 I acquired from @logjam and could not have been more pleased all the way around, from start to finish! He is a class act and I would welcome the opportunity to do business with him again. Thank you Sir!!!
