Looks like he's ready to sink those teeth into your hand if you tickle him one more time.

Hey Phil, do you have a history on that Oberndorf '06?? How did it come into your life, if I may ask. We had 4 Oberndorf Mausers come thru a local shop several years ago, but they had been " modified " to the point that they were not attractive at all.

Karnis,
Nice selection, but I really like the 275 Rigby.
I was drooling over one at the SCI show last month. (They made me move on.)

Two rifles built on G33/40 actions. Top one is a 7x57 built by Al and Roger Biesen together. Bottom is a 6.5x55 done by Roger more recently.

NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART Here is an intimate closeup, warts and all, of Ole Ugly my all time favorite.

IIRC, you did an article on Ole Ugly a few years back.

That's not quite as beautiful as Phil's 458, but it's still really pretty.
Chic does great work!

You've been "lured" out . Between you, Woodsy & Tony, I'm not sure I could stand many more pictures. Those are some of the best I've ever seen. Perfectly executed work is something to behold. American gunsmiths/stocksmiths rule when it comes to customizing mousers. The old adage: "If I have 'splain it to you, you wouldn't understand." applies in spades.
