Beautiful rifle! Looks like a serious rifle for hunting.
Are you going to scope it? Yes sir, The custom bases are for the CZ rings. I have both a 1" and 30MM Alaska Arms quick disconnect rings.

Found another picture of the Burgess Enfield in my Photobucket. Butch's gun is on a par with this one, IMO. DF

Absolutely beautiful rifle. Nothing more can be said really.
You'll probably never NEED a gun. In fact I hope you never do. BUT IF you do, you will probably need it worse than anything you've ever needed before in your life...

I was gifted with a new Eliseo Tube Gun kit.It is the RTS target model. http://www.gotxring.com/high-power/I will be looking for a SA 700 receiver and chamber it in 308. I have not a clue what I will do with it. I do have a lot of Grandsons.

Awesome. Safety is probably Ed LaPour. Actually no, Ed was retooling his Enfield safeties when I was doing mine. It was put together from the million dollar drawer. You know the drawer that you throw things into when cleaning up. I do have several of Ed's and they are top notch.

Thanks Mike. I do see that I mentioned Tommy Kaye's name in the first post and didn't credit him for the engraving.

Man, I made a big mistake in my first post. Jim Kobe has done several stocks for me, but this was done by James Anderson. Both are great stockmakers.
