Likely my last custom rifle.

Rifles were built nearly 30 years apart by the same smith. In the bottom photo at top is my 460 Jeffrey built on a Remington Model 30S action. Below is the new one, a Remington Model 30 in 300 H&H. The 460 has a 25" barrel while the 300 wears a 24" tube and a hood on the front sight. Otherwise they are nearly identical.

The 300 by itself...

And the pair...

Simply beautiful guns!

I'm still waiting for my first custom and being in my 60's, if I don't hurry, it may never happen!
 
Beautiful rifles!

Is the wood maple?

I just sold a custom 375 Impr. I had made up by a favorite smith back in the 60's. Those big ones kick kind of hard for my senior body.

Today I shot a new to me 257 Wby. and a 300 WM. Still too much frozen snow here on the ground. Nobody has walked past 100 yds yet at the range.
 
I believe it is maple. I recall the smith made a maple stock for the 460 and it broke during test firing so he used a light colored walnut instead. The smaller caliber should be OK with it.
 
Just Beautiful, Very nice workmanship. To bad we can't go around twice, just think of what a collection you would have
