Couldn't figure out which was my favorite, so I posted both; Ruger No. 1 25-06 case colored and scroll engraved by Tyler Gun Works Friona, Texas and my Win. 21 no. 6 engraved two barrel set with the 30" M&F barrels.

Nice shooting Gil. I'd be ecstatic if I could bring home one woodcock. Maybe one of these days. Skip, I am sure Jackson would be up to the challenge. Looks like you've had another banner year on snipe. Gil

GaryW,
Great pics. Did you have to have the action annealed before it was engraved? I've never heard if No. 1 actions are surface hardened, or not.

May God bless America and those who defend her.

Bobby Tyler has two case coloring formulas....a high temp for steel that needs hardening and a low temp for already hard steel; he does fantastic work on single actions and 1911 pistols and all the work for Henry Repeating Arms. Here is a close up of the colors and the engraving done by Dale Bass of Amarillo, Texas. Case coloring the scope rings was a nice touch.

I had another good afternoon yesterday, in a harvested peanut field. The BE Fox was used again, and did it's thing at the 50% level once more. Man, I wanted to best that previous 50% ratio, but just didn't do it. Big, pretty, mature, fast flying birds. SRH

Very pretty and appropriate. Now you need to let him fix that safety button by milling out the the slot and putting a recessed button in there. Looks 100% better. JR

I can imagine just what that afternoon's shooting was like. There's not 15 doves within a 20 mile radius here. JR

A fine day in the rivercane with Floyd, Ben and Billy escorted by Abby, Pop and Sadie. Willa rode the bench due to having to safeguard stitches. She’ll be up and at’em soon. We had 15-20 flushes and bagged six. Good day with friends and dogs. One flat worn out dog, Abby. Note the rivercane camo pattern on Floyd's dog box. Pop surveying the tailgate, Floyd, Abby, Sadie in the right box, Billy and Ben. Top to bottom, Billy's 20 gauge Superposed Midas Grade (equivalent); Ben's 28 ga. Marocchi; My 16 ga. MF Ideal 302 Clunkerette. Floyd's Ithaca SKB 20 ga. was camera shy.

You should frame that picture.
So many guns, so little time!
