One of my customers turned me loose on his rifle. This was a blast to build and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have free reign. This rifle is chambered in 30-40 krag, hand loaded to hot .308 win velocities. It’s headed to Manitoba for black bear in March.

Stunning rifle. The carving on both the wood and metal is beyond first class.
 
4 days at DSC in a booth immediately next to Bailey...now you guys know why I am having him build my next rifle.

Not too many opportunities to get an entire rifle made by one Craftsman.

Beautiful work Bailey…

The prototype rifle you had at your booth really speaks to me… I think that one is going to be a masterpiece once it’s completed!
 
That looks like a one off European rifle, that they make every several years, putting every once of skill into that one rifle. Like the Rigby elephant skin rifle. The Franzoj Dragon rifle and others.

Simply amazing craftsmanship

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
