Ain't that just NICE!!!
If you get a chance go to Ron's web site.
Some incredible iron there.
He is also president of the CLA.
His carving and engraving are top shelf.
But his wood finishing is the best I have ever seen.
IMHO

P.S.
He is also a great guy !

It's got the lock on the wrong side and it looks too pretty to shoot.

No, the lock is on the "correct" side, but the price tag has too many numbers in it. That's all that's wrong, far as I can see. Sure is purty, tho, ain't it?

A little too rich for my blood.
Looks really nice.
I could never own something like that.
I shoot my guns and could own several really nice ones for that price.
I just can't see my wife dusting and polishing it twice a week and worrying about wax build up. :grin:

No doubt, it's a beautiful gun. The only real question is "Is it worth over 6 grand?".

Wouldn't that be a dream for a hunting rifle.I had a rifle built with a 42 inch swamped barrel,its very relieable but about a foot to long. Would like next to have someone build the Chambers English gentelmans rifle,would like it in left hand but right would be OK.

Is he dyslexic or something? :rotf:

That is one of the most beautiful rifles that I have ever seen. The only way that I would think about firing it (if I was lucky enough to own it) is if I was Bill Gates or Walmart heir wealthy. Even a kit to build one costs so much that I'll probably keep on shooting my $250 second-hand GPR, rather than risk wear-and-tear.
I have been printing out the TOW pictures for future reference, but I will never have the carving or engraving skills of the builder.

The .58 Poser Jaeger is beautiful rifle and a rich man could hunt elk with pride if he had such a rifle.
Has anyone researched and published anything on the extent to which Jaeger rifles were used in America?
The museum at the Palace of the Govenors in Santa Fe has a Jaeger that was collected from a ranch in New Mexico, but has no additional information on the rifle. Apparently, at least one Jaeger made its way down the Santa Fe Trail.
I wonder if many Jaegers showed up in Texas in the areas dominated by German settlement?

There's a German or Austrian jaeger with a wooden trigger guard in Garavaglia's 'Firearms of the American West Vol I' on page 258. It was used in the Sioux uprising in MN in 1862 by Ernst Brandt. The gun was brought over from Europe by his father in 1852.
I'd reckon a few came over with German immigrants to TX and other areas, but even in the later years it appears that few Europeans brought guns with them. Guns were not common among common folk in Europe at the time, generally those with $$ and land.
I don't know of a good single source on the use of these guns in North America.

You make a good point about why so few Jaegers made it to America -- the people who owned them had little reason to leave Europe and the people who wanted to come to America didn't own may guns.
It reminds me of a great book I discovered over Christmas that explains how Europeans evolved as hunters, but then in fuedal societies were punished, tortured, or even killed for hunting. See: Journey to the Ice Age: Mammoths and Other Animals of ...Dutch illustrator Rien Poortvliet. Lots of illustrations by a guy who loved sitting quietly in the woods.
The traditional European foresters/game wardens were not wealthy, but were were armed with rifles. I wonder if there was any such thing as a common man's Jaeger, or a common man's English sporting rifle?
Anybody seen a poor-boy Jaeger?
