I agree. A rifle with machine carving (let's assume it's a Kibler) is not unique or custom in the sense of "special" because others are just like it, while hand carving is one of a kind even if the pattern is basically the same. I guess paying for ANY carving is vanity, and if I want to be vain about my gun, I prefer total vanity knowing the carving is indeed special.I like well done hand carving but to be honest, I do not care much for the CNC carving.

Good grief, that sounds like a VP's word salad. But maybe you see what I mean.
I especially like the finish on this rifle, the wood, and brass. The brass doesn't look artificially aged, like a lot of new stuff on here these days. Mike, how did you do that, or is it just time and nature?Now ... how 'bouts just with an inlay and silver wire? Rifle #364 by Mike Brooks, a 50-cal Moravian, in the tradition of Christian Oerter.
