Announcing the donation of:

Biesen custom 3 generation

.375 H&H,

"Lion" Rifle

This was Roger Biesen's personal rifle.

It was inletted and the initial stock work was completed by Al Biesen.  Paula did the gold inlay work, scroll engraving and created a two-tone metal finish, per his request.  Roger then completed it to his own specifications.  Featuring his quick-release scope mounts, pictured below.  

When he showed his rifle to customers, he would describe his choice of gold work and limited scroll coverage as "simple elegance".  He would say, just enough to maintain balance to the whole project.

If you notice there is a variance in the color of the stock between the multiple pictures.  These projects are very difficult to photograph as the wood itself reflects different hues in different lighting.  I tried to include as many pictures as possible to you can see how fantastic this stock is.
