That a very beautiful rifle, Joe. Hopefully they will get to bring it to Spokane next year.

Wow! What's not to like about that? It's my idea of the perfect High Wall!

Gorgeous rifle, Joe!

Did you checker the door knob on the palm rest?
Congratulations to Gabi and John on both new additions!
You're gonna have to get busy and put together some Boys-type rifles for the grand kids too.    Wink

Beautiful, but I would have expected Joe to make the palm rest out of polished agate.

Still looks nice Smiley.   Looking at the pictures it's hard to resist phoning Mr. Durren and asking him to make a lefty version of the same rifle.

Wowzza! What an addition to the Westerner clan. I'm sure that in about forty years, when the kids are grown, she'll find time to shoot it. Beautiful thing for a lovely gal. You, the family and the gunmaker all get attaboys..... Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley

Another gorgeous rifle ... I have some serious HW envy going on right now!
  

I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't quite reached my "Expiry" date yet ...

Yes, another beautiful rifle.  And I expect the same results for the great Mystery Ballard.

Mighty fine rifle. Really pretty and the best of the best.

I would love to see Gabi shoot it while John babysits.

Time to start building another for the youngster.

Colleen had a Schuetzen gun for her daughter when she was only one year old.

What is it chambered to?

That's just a gorgeous rifle Joe!  Can you tell us any of the history of that chunk of wood?  Did you harvest it?

Regards, Joe
