The cocking piece I polished to a matchless finish and Nitre Blued for the lighter blue finish, pictures really don't do it justice.
This lovely lady is Josephine, the action is a Weatherby Vanguard clone - Howa 1500. Stock is Walnut with Claro fore end and grip cap, boned with a satin finish with a Pachmayr recoil pad. I added a #4 Shillen barrel and she's chambered in 300 Win Mag. The barrel is 26.5 inches long and the overall length is about 57 inches if I remember correctly. She's also got a Leupold MKIV scope and she's the most comfortable shooting rifle I own. I loved every second working on her, can't wait to build another.
