The below picture would be very interesting in 303 British on a colour case hardened receiver sporting light English scroll work. I could really go for that. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah139/Hayst2711/Renner_zpsmlj9hjlo.jpg)

Not a Ruger single shot fan. Give me an 1885. Now that is a sexy rifle.

Those are gorgeous and the price is so good as to be akin to a Craigslist scam. Wonder what his turn around time is? Since he uses the factory wood most modern #1's are limited in how good they will turn out but even their somewhat plain wood could be improved with a darker stain. I agree with ingwe, I'm in lust. I'd about given up trying to get a custom rifle that really reflected what I wanted - they're out there but the cost is measured in thousands of dollars. Thanks for posting this. Or maybe, "you bastard!" is more appropriate. Why did you have to show me this!

Would it be a sin to put a scope on a rifle like this?

Nice. I could see doing a Ruger No. 1 in 7x57 with the optional case hardening "Tie-died T-shirt."

Wish I hadn't seen this...
I got a No.1 9.3 Mouzzy that is begging for that stalker treatment and a peep sight...
Would also love to send them a 77 in 7x57 or such for the German treatment...

My three 77's are all stainless with laminate stocks, two with that Green Mountain pattern, not exactly good candidates for classic English styling. I actually started perusing gunbroker for a likely blued/wood candidate for this. Geez, I need a new gun like I need a second rectum. Actually trying to sell two and thin the herd right now. But the little guy on my shoulder, not the one with the halo, is feeding me all kinds of reasons why I need to get a new rifle and have it made over like this. Shame he only works on Rugers. I do have a left hand Model 70 blued/wood that would look great as a Faux-Rigby.

Just got off the phone with Roger after an interesting conversation. Apparently they do work on rifles other than Ruger, such as any of the Mark X Mausers, CZ, Winchester and even Remington. He mentioned that a Remington Model 700 BDL has the wood volume and shape to be made up into a nice faux Germanic "Mausery" looking rifle with the oval cheek piece and everything. Not sure I can see that in my mind but what the heck. Anyway, I got a good impression talking to him, he seemed very down to Earth and knowledgeable and struck me as a responsible guy. No offense to our gunsmiths here but I don't get that impression from everyone who does custom work. A fairly standard package as displayed on his website takes about a month which is a really reasonable turnaround - once he gets to it. That's the problem, he has a backlog of work which he has to get through before even starting anything new. So... I'm in the process of getting together what all I want and will send him an email to start a work order shortly, that at least reserves my place in line. Uh, actually, never mind, I was just BS'ing you guys. What I meant to say is the guy is a charlatan and a fraud and if I were you I'd forget you ever heard of him. So don't none of y'all be sending him any work to do - at least not before I get my name in the queue...
