My trip to the gunsmith

Gives you a feeling of how much you’ll appreciate the finished job. And of course, the amount of time that goes into a project.
 
Thats awesome! Paul's work is exquisite. Was that your 416 Taylor I saw on the work board last week? :DAnd, not being in Ontario is ok because their town is gorgeous! It makes a great pilgrimage:

No not mine but could be my buddy Steve's. Christian is building Steve's 416 on a Mauser action, he finished my work in September of 2016.

416 Taylor is a very cool cartridge. Do you mind sharing some pictures of the work Paul and Christian did?
 
Just a few pics of the 416 Taylor. Paul did the engraving on the front site and the rings. The rifle was built by Hugh McIssac from Simcoe, ON.

Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
Very inquisitive warthogs
