I had commented on this rifle on another forum, but have to say that you have great talent- the carving,engraving and wire inlay along with the wood selection, and then the wood and metal finish all fit together perfectly. Beautiful rifle!  :bl th up

Absolutely stunning piece of art. Beverman is a lucky man! That's a mantle hanger, for sure! I'd be afraid to handle it without white gloves on, let alone, take it to the range.
Beautiful work!!
