Butch, I’ve resisted looking at this thread as long as I could. Didn’t want to look and start the “wanting” again.  Have wanted a Lott for years....but have no justification! Congrats!! A beautiful piece of workmanship. I hope that it serves you well for many years/adventures! memtb

Way too much off the bench for me.

That's what a rifle should look like. Dennis does great work and turns it around before the client croaks and leaves the finished product to his heirs. He turned a pre-64 Mdl 70 30-06 into a 375 H&H for me and made it look new.
I love the stock work.

Thanks
I need to replace the one on my 404J and it looks like that, but buggered!
Once again, a real stumpsplitter of a rifle. I like the clean look with the peep no rear open sights.

Butch-The folks that I know who shoot those "big kickn" guns use a stand-up bench. ' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIWaKKMFWog The only problem is that you do not get to enjoy all that the Lott has to offer. My brother's gun likes a "big much" load of IMR 4320 and the 500 gr. bullets. The reason that Barnes makes a 450 gr. is for the Lott. Otherwise the 500 Barnes makes the shell too long for most actions. Favor Center

Homer and I did several projects together. I developed a 6.5 x 284 with a ..400" neck. The idea was to get the barrel to last a lot longer. I later changed it to a 7mm. Same powder charge as a straight 284. Won a regional F open with that one. I am still shooting that gun. Craig

Last time was before he passed away with cancer. We shot together at the Arkansas State BR Championship. Hated to have him go away.
