"My Todd Ramirez 7 x 57 is by far the nicest rifle I've ever owned... and to my thinking it's designed and built the way a fine bolt action rifle should be.  In the field it's a joy to carry, and it handles like a dream.  It has not yet failed me, and I'm sure it never will."  Craig Boddington

Todd built Craig this 7 x 57.  It is a left handed square bridged rifle.  The wood is Bastone with a red stain and a oil finish.  Craig has hunted various parts of the world using this gun.  Check out his trophy's on the Boddington Trophy  page.
