I was just informed that my new model 89 has cleared customs today and is at the importers store in Dallas! Ive been waiting a little over a year for this rifle to be completed so the news is very exciting. the next step is to have the rifle shipped to me in WA, which should hopefully be in the next week or so.

here are some quick cell phone pictures they sent me when the gun arrived. I was told they were on there way out so better pictures will have to wait till they have more time.

Lovely rifle. Tasteful engraving and wonderful piece of wood - the grain flowing like it should through th wrist. Congrats.
 
She is a beautiful rifle!
 
Looks great, congrats!
 
Very, very nice. Will be interested in hearing how it shoots.

Have no fear Matt will test this rifle with an eye to detail. I hope it lives up to his expectations!
 
Nice Matt!!!
 
Gorgeous rifle!
 
WOW, what a gorgeous looking rifle. Was that wood an up-grade or just the luck of the draw? For a new rifle that is one slick piece. I'd love to own it, but I'm not willing to sell everything already in my safe to do so. To say that I'm jealous would be an understatement. Do you already have a hunt booked for this beauty?
 
Glad to hear you almost have your rifle. It looks like it was well worth the wait.

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
