Model 4 (round forearm) in Rutland gray/black laminate

Model 7 ( left side ) in very rare Turkish Walnut BURL

Note,

A burl is a large growth similar to a cancer that grows on the SIDE of a tree trunk. It is rare to find a burl large enough to make a stock from and is EXTREMLY rare to fine a burl on a walnut tree

This rifle is one of a matching pair built for Sam Smith of Fremont Wis. in 2006. the cost of just the BURL Turkish walnut was $8000.00

Total cost of the pair of rifles was in excess of $30,000.00
