Too pretty to shoot! But very nice work.

I was researching that cartridge for a while a few weeks ago, reading/looking at pics etc. The fact that it was Mr Weatherby's favorite kinda turned me on to it, plus that round just looks mean as heck. Add that beautiful rifle...if it were in my hands I would be chomping at the bit to get it to the range. I'm sure you're not anxious though

That's a beauty. Don't get it all scratched up. That thing is Purdy.

That rife is so pretty that it would always stay in my display case for my three grandsons to drool over. I bet I could get a lot of work out of them by saying, "Now who is deserving to be left this rife." lol.
