    I think I have a case fetish?

    Every time I get a gun the way I like it I seem to have to find a case to make it complete. With this rifle it actually made some practical sense cause the scope mounting isn't made robust enough for easy transport. But beyond that I love figured wood and this Canadian case builder is so reasonable for what he does.

    Not sure which is nicer, the fiddleback maple on the case or the fiddleback on the walnut stock.

    I found a Welsh guy who makes hand built guitars a while ago whilst looking for a refret, but he also does cases, I suppose to order so anything could fit in!

    Stunning case! Very nice indeed.
    A fetish? Probably not an appreciation of excellent workmanship, definitely.

    Box looks a nice job - just needs a custom fit interior to slot the rifle & optic into now or even some pick 'n' pluck foam if you're not bothered about a more traditional finsh.
    You'll know the fetish has gone too far when the next box you're planning is 6' long...
