Belonging to a historical recreation group I've developed a bit of a bias against three piece takedowns as we're supposed to be trying to be as period as is reasonable for the average person but 90% shoot Samick Sage takedowns, lol. That being said this one is the exception, it is absolutely stunning!

Thanks again to all. Hopefully a good batch of you get to fire a few bullets from it over the next few years. I never say no!

Oh man that is nice. I bet it will only get better looking with time as that osage darkens.
That is an inspiring build right there.

Really stunning work my friend. It must have been a lot of work bringing all in line and balance out. And yes the ingredients are beautiful - every piece by its one.
Congrats for a piece we don't see all day!

You know that thought crossed my mind when I was laying the riser out. Obviously you have to watch how wide your riser is if you plan to add various sets of limbs down the road. Yew limbs would take some of the weighty feeling away Im sure. Carson and I made a swap and he sent me some nice. old billets. Might be a good application for them.
