"Checkering is an exact art, and only the most gifted and persistent individuals ever master it.

David Stendell excels at checkering.

The first time I threw the complete rifle to my shoulder and the sights all lined up with my eye - it felt like a good shotgun.

This is a rifle that begs to be shot."

"I approached David to build one of his custom rifles for me. I wanted something that looked fantastic in the walnut department, very flat shooting, extremely hard hitting and "accurate" on a Ruger No. 1.

This rifle is all of that and much more. I chose the 7mm KCR magnum as the calibre, pushing 140 grain Triple Shock Barnes bullets at 3500 FPS into .6 for 3 shots.

Very good medicine for wild dogs in the mountain country!

Thanks David."

"I approached David to customize my Ruger #1 in the style of a British Farquarson, that might have been used by F.C. Selous. He gave me a choice of about thirty walnut blanks of which I chose the one you see. I left the design entirely in David's hands.

In addition David prepared a re-load that shoots 1.25" with my favoured 300 grain Woodlies in the 375 Weatherby. He delivered exactly what he promised, on time and to the price quoted.

Thanks David its a treasure!"

"A fine rifle, doing exactly what it was built to do - 2 from 2.

Cal, 22BR, consistently putting 5 bullets into 1/4 MOA.

A pleasure to use."
