Up for grabs is a custom steel-mounted rifle stocked in walnut by builder Ettore Russo. The rifle’s lock appears to be an RE Davis Germanic style, and the barrel is a straight Green Mountain brand 1″ in diameter by 42″ in length. The LOP of the rifle is a hair over 13″, and the overall length is 56.5″. Weight of the rifle is 9.5 lbs. The stock is finished with a base layer of iron nitrate, followed by tinted shellac, topped with several coats of varnish oil, paste wax has been applied for added protection.

I am asking $1,750 $1,650 $1600 shipped for this fine rifle. It will be shipped in a wood crate and will include a replacement frizzen and double ball mold (.530 if my memory serves me correctly).

What sights are on it? Have you shot and and if so will you share its favorite load?

The sights are quite rudimentary— like what you’d find on a Kibler. I haven’t altered them or staked them yet, as I’ve really only had this rifle out a couple times. I regret to say that I haven’t had the opportunity to work up a load for it. Here’s a video of me shooting it at approximately 35 yards. I believe I was using 55 grains of 3F here.

My pleasure! It’s really a great rifle, and I’m sure I’ll regret getting rid of it. I truly believe that it’s worth two/three times what I’m asking for it in terms of the work that went into building this piece.
 
Don’t be like every other Tom, ****, and Harry! Here’s your opportunity to separate yourself from the pack and own a truly unique, one-of a-kind rifle.
