What is cch?
World's most popular community & resource for hunting in Africa since 2007
CCH or engraving on a bespoke?

Sloppy!?
Really depends on the rifle imo. A good, proper CCH is spectacular. Turnbull for example:

I’m not a fan of CCH unless it is done by St Ledgers in the UK. I like the plainer dark blue finish seen on Purdeys rather than the more multi coloured CCH ( think Rigby ) . I also don’t like modern engraving - I’m a less is more kind of guy . The ultimate finish on a double rifle is the “Funeral” finish . A black action with no engraving or perhaps some border engraving . I picked up this cannon yesterday . It was commissioned by me quite a few years ago . Sums up my taste at least as far as an adorned bolt action goes .

I wish I did like it, but I just don’t.

I think with cch modest embelishments would make things pop
Example iron sights caliber and brand engraved in gold.
Exmple made this with AI ignore the scroll
But things that are going to be engraved anyway might as well make look good.

Not mine, but a lovely combo of engraving and colors:

I love CCH on parts of the gun or rifle that would traditionally have required it. I think it looks a little silly otherwise. Like CCH scope rings? Huh?

I have a rifle with CCH and a couple with engravings, both are nice but I prefer the latter.
When it comes to that, the difference between classy and gaudy is in a large part to do with how liberal the engraver is with his tools. I’m a less is more type person.
But that’s me and from the responses in the thread it is, like most things, all personal preference.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.
I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.
Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?
I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?
Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.
