Thanks for the accolades guys. Yes the rifles are very expensive but they do cost a lot to make and take many hours to finish. They all shoot. With handloads .25" is quite realistic, especially with 300 win mags. You dont need to be a mental giant to see why NATO use it as a sniping round. The last rifle that was delivered was a 7mm mag and it shot half inch groups with 2 different lots of factory ammo with the first shots ever fired. It was then sent to the customer. I will get the web site revised soon and add a bunch of photos of new rifles that aren't posted yet. There are some exquisite pieces that have to new owners. We have started production of a bolt action rifle which will be available in the the new month or two. It will be very similar in outline. a light weight English styled stalking rifle......
If you want good quality hay then expect to pay a fair price, if you want to buy hay that has already been thru the horse, well that comes a little cheaper.

I agree ScottyO, beautiful work and outstanding in every respect. Well done, Sir, on a magnificent work of art that is functional as well as appealing.

I prefer the old 7x57 he sold for seven grand, the man has always had a good eye and serious taste in fire-arms.
Added;
Good God, I just reread my post and it appears very ungracious, and as such it behoves me to correct that.
The firearms depicted are very nice and very desirable, and should I ever be in the position to purchase one I shall do so at the drop of a hat.
But I would skin the pope for a chance to own Allison's old 7x57.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

If your bolt rifle is as good as your single shot then you will have the two best rifles in production without a doubt. I know that if I won lotto I would have one in a heartbeat. Looking forward to seeing your bolt rifle and periodically drool over your website.

WOW! The metalwork, style, wood quality, finish quality, and overall workmanship of those rifles are absolutely sublime! I'm a falling block fanatic, and I don't think I've ever seen sexier falling blocks than those! Beautiful! I'm envious!

Quote Dick Wright: First, you have to be able to tell the difference. I honestly think most people don't recognize art of you hit them in the face with it. They just can't tell the difference.
Secondly, if you do recognize art, it has to mean something to you. You have to care about it enough to be willing to pay for it. You hit the nail squarely on the head with that Dick.
Despite what your momma told you, violence does solve problems.

GSP, that is one kick ass looking rifle. What a piece of wood. Almost too pretty to shoot. I say almost, because I have yet to meet one too pretty to shoot or hunt for that matter.

Thanks for the positive comments. I took a deer with it last fall and will take it west in October providing I draw tags. Whats really nice is the smith that built it is 10 minutes from me.

Having 7 falling and tilt block SS rifles (3 Westley Richards 19897 patent, an Alex Henry, 2 Martinis and A Winnie low wall) I'm tempted to sell some and get one of Glen's masterpieces. Very, very tempted!!
