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.

Is this a take-down model?
 
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

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
