This Mauser has been engraved in semi-relief carved oak leaves, based on a pattern used by the late, great Pennsylvania gunsmith, Paul Yaeger.
The semi-relief carved oak leaves are generally less expensive to engrave as only the background is removed; the leaves themselves aren’t carved.
This is a lovely quarter bore rifle in the classic Ned Roberts’ caliber of .257 Roberts’.
The rifle is in the process of being finished by Canyon Creek Custom Gunstocks based out of Conner, MT.
