A very special George Gibbs Farquharson recently finished by Steve Bertram.
Brought back to it's original style and purpose - rebarreled (chambered in 500/450 No.1 Express), new forend and a proper finish on the action which had been blacked at some point.

Very nice!
What a beautiful rifle
very nice
Thanks for posting very beautiful very interesting rifle !
Wow! That's beautiful. Do you have plans to take it hunting?
On the practical side, do the Selous plates on the sides of the wrist make the pistol grip cold if carrying it in the winter?
WOW! Very nice. I have to be satisfied with a couple of Ruger #1s.
I sure would like to take it out for a hunt some day!Quote:

Although, if it were that cold, I’d be wearing some sort of gloves.
The other end of that question is about how they feel in the heat and sun. One owner in Africa says he doesn’t notice the steel heating up but I would tend to try to keep them out of direct sunlight if possible.
That is the holy grail of hunting rifles. I am jealous!. It must be hunted.
