One of my customers turned me loose on his rifle. This was a blast to build and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have free reign. This rifle is chambered in 30-40 krag, hand loaded to hot .308 win velocities. It’s headed to Manitoba for black bear in March.

That is the finest single shot I believe I have ever seen! Terrific work Bailey!
 
Is this a take-down model?
 
Stunning rifle. The carving on both the wood and metal is beyond first class.
 
4 days at DSC in a booth immediately next to Bailey...now you guys know why I am having him build my next rifle.

Not too many opportunities to get an entire rifle made by one Craftsman.

Beautiful work Bailey…

The prototype rifle you had at your booth really speaks to me… I think that one is going to be a masterpiece once it’s completed!
 
That looks like a one off European rifle, that they make every several years, putting every once of skill into that one rifle. Like the Rigby elephant skin rifle. The Franzoj Dragon rifle and others.

Simply amazing craftsmanship

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .

I have quite a bit of 458 win mag brass, most of it new. How much are you looking for?
