I have two pre-1950 Model 70 Winchesters Super Grade with the ebony tips- and a 1937 G&H Custom (Mauser 98 action) w/0 that ebony tip- and with a piece of Bastogne walnut and 22 LPI checkering that would make a Nun give up her vows-- IMO, and I am from the late "Cactus Jack" O'Conner school on rifles- I would rather have good rust blue and a outstanding piece of walnut well checkered over fancy inlays or engraving on any of my "bespoken" big-game rifles.. Jack said it right- that is a classic- no matter if: R.G. Owen, G&H, Tom Shellhammer, Paul Wunderhammer or August and/or Frank Pachmayer were the creators-Winslow, post German Sauer made Weatherby's- ugh- as garish as a pimp in an expensive whorehouse in New Orleans--
