Absolutely beautiful rifle. I am very happy for you!

without.

the engraving on the rifle will be strictly leaf which was more than expensive enough and adding animals to the rifle would put the rifle beyond my budget.

this is roughly what I'm expecting, albeit with some differences in engraving at some places and the rifle is not going to be color case hardened.

@spike.t i will miss our long nights of heavy drinking. im sure our paths will cross again and maybe ill even find myself hanging out with you in Zambia some day.

@zephyr no fixed delivery date at the moment but im hoping for July or August. the barrels will be roughly 26" which is going to be the standard for the model 89.

Beautiful Case Hardening,congratulations

my rifle will not have the case hardening, I decided that spending extra on this feature wasn't worth its lack of durability.

Congrats Matt!

It was fun looking at doubles with you and just listening to you talk to both the Heym and VC guys.

The VC double in 600 NE I handled at the DSC show was one of the most perfectly balanced rifles ive ever seen and felt MUCH lighter then it actually was (cant even remember the weight).

I remember. It was 16 lbs, and I couldn't believe how light it felt.

Nothing like pulling the 2 triggers on a double and smelling the gun powder in the air

I hope your "rifle luck" is much better than it has been during the last couple of years. If this new one turns out to be a lemon, you should probably find a new hobby/sport!

Can just hear @matt85 .... "I had a problem with the yarn. The dye faded quickly. I don't recommend it. "
