My first nice Single shot, been a lot of things over the years.  BPCS flat buttplate. Bench rest with a # 5 Barrel, .219 Zipper varmint gun. Then Stevens 52 pattern full Schuetzen used with Black powder breech seated.  38/55 .22 LR now. Only thing it's used for these days is our Club Ram Bash offhand matches Rim-fire and Center-fire. And offhand matches on our 500 M Buffalo

Most of the time it looked pretty ordinary, I sanded out and finished the stocks myself and it looked it. Big argument on line one time with a guy who ran CPA's fit and finish down compared to Shilo's   Apples and Oranges I say, it was a home made finish job

Anyway last year sent it out to Millard Hixson for final sand down finish and checker.  Have a CPA Schuetzen, & BPCS/Varmint switch outfit on the way don't plan to be changing stocks anymore. Gave it to Ken Burklow who shoots our Ram Bash matches (and won last month) for engraving.  Picked it up yesterday.  It's not the pattern for everybody but motif means something to me.  Been shooting at those rams 20 years now. Logbook says it's first match was at Fairfax R & G June of 1993 and took 3rd place.  Have to count rounds up again however the 38/55 barrel well over 1000 per year and .22 LR barrel even more.  Could it be 40,000 rounds without a single malfunction ?

Awesome pictures of a sweet rifle. Thanks for posting boats.

I'm really looking forward to picking up my Mod 52 Schuetzen from CPA hopefully next month.

Tom that's perfect just what I wanted to see.  Ken  has that pattern off Hap's site but the photos are not as good as yours.

Guys,
Since we have an area on here for photos of rifles, maybe there could be support for an archive of good photos of just engraving examples ???
Maybe that's been done somewhere else that I'm not aware of.
If so, please advise, as I'd like to get some inspiration.
Would love to see examples of the engraver's art; old and new.

Boats, that's a pretty CPA! Often the beauty in a gun is the way it shoots, but your's has the external beauty also now!
Here's a couple Stevens patterns I have:
