Mr. Stickley, unfortunately, is no longer in the gun industry. He worked for a number of years for John Bolliger of Mountain Riflery and did many of the integral barrels and ring systems seen on Bolliger rifles. You won't find an integral feature barrel at the local hardware store. They are rock solid and will not have anything come loose or fall off in the field. Mr. Stickley machined these by hand with lathe and milling machine. The are not CNC pieces. This gun represents the epitomy of American custom rifle building. It remains in new condition. It is a big brother to the .338 Win Mag that is also listed. Talk about a first class pair for African big game!
