Description:

This fine custom rifle is attributed to Master Gunsmith Jerry Fisher. Built on a pre-64 style Winchester Model 70 action with a lightly tapered medium weight barrel without sights, with light engraving and gold inlaid bands at the muzzle and breech. The action is fitted with scope bases, rings, and a Leupold Vari-X III 2.5-8x scope. The floorplate is intricately engraved with deep cut scroll patterns surrounding a grouping of bighorn sheep set against a mountainous background. The sheep are inlaid with fine silver with gold inlaid horns. The floorplate is signed "KAYE" just forward of the trigger guard for American Master Engraver Tommy Kaye (founding FEGA member). With a jewelled bolt body and knurled bolt handle knob. Highly figured multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with ebony forend cap, engraved blue steel grip cap, raised shadow line cheekpiece, and checkered blue steel buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as master embellished and refinished with 99% of the high quality blue finish remaining, sharp engraving, light patina on the floorplate, and scattered light handling marks. The stock is also very fine with crisp checkering, attractive dark figure, and some small scattered dings. Mechanically excellent. Scope is excellent with some light scratches on the tube and clear optics.
