I think it's very cool! Reminds me of my dad's and grandpa's old Rem 760s.

Very cool! Makes it unique. Reminiscent of head stamps on old Remington pumps, which I always thought was cool. Ever see a picture of the Benoit family rifles? Some of them pounded a sawed off "head stamp" into the buttstock for every buck over 200#s the rifle killed.

I say "cool." Reminds me of these knives, and they are cool:

Pretty cool
It would be also cool if you used a case from a memorable hunt that you harvested a significant animal

Reminds me of what Remington did on the 14 and 141 pump guns.

I think it looks nice. Cool to see the cartridge at a quick glance too.

I think that it’s “cool”! Certainly personalizes your rifle! I’m glad that most approve of “your” customization! However, I also knew that some arse would make disparaging remarks.....also, suspected who that would be! memtb

Difference between "not" and being a complete douchebag about it. Stick paints polka dots on his guns, and engraves profanities on them, but thinks a case head isn't cool?

There is 1000s of accumulative years of gun experience here. If 60% said it sucked I probably wouldn't do it again. The idea is to have desirable things. Otherwise you end up like Stick with a bunch of custom garbage that is only valuable to you. I take that approach with all my things. That's why I sell things and don't loose money. If people don't like it, I really do wana know. Just not Stick...😃
