That photo and PMOY analogy are sad but true. Crying or Very sad

Oh how I want a 21.

Not shooting a gun is a sacrilege! That would be like taking a perfectly good shooter, say a Fox 16ga ejector with # 3 weight 28" barrels, and tarting it up. Rebuilding it into a wonderfully-stocked, Celtic-engraved work of art. Then hanging it on the wall, or worse yet, hiding it from view in a gun safe.
I am having this same gun treated this way, and I will shoot it and carry it in the field in search of something to harvest (kill).
Just my humble opinion. And don't we all have one?

Agreed. In the mid 90's I built a custom coyote rifle with a Sauer 90 action and spent a great deal of time crafting the stock out of Madagascar rosewood. Anyone who has worked with rosewood knows the difficulty level compared to walnut. I invested 64 pieces of exotic wood inlay in that stock, 34 pieces made up the face of a Red Fox alone. It was magnificent and most folks I showed it to seemed to have the same reaction "I would be afraid to take it out"... My response was generally along the lines of "You see that scratch"... or "I didn't work for weeks on end to put it in the closet".

I now know the engraver, Angelo Bee. He inspected the gun and owned the engraving. I also got the back story on the Frank Pachmayr, Angelo Bee relationship. Frank Pachmayr sponsored Angelo Bee to come to the USA after he left Browning in the 70s. He reported that Frank Pachmayr directed engravers to not sign some of the guns they engraved for him. He conveyed a warm respectful relationship with Frank.







This gun is now up for sale.
