Engraved by Klaus's wife, the late Heidi Marie Hiptmayer, who was a Ferlach trained engraver and worked with her husband in Quebec, Canada. The engraving includes 70% coverage of scroll engraving on the action and extending onto the breech end of the barrels. Also includes 40% coverage of steel pistol grip cap. Trigger guard engraved with a monogram and Grizzly Bear on the floorplate and signed. Engraved bolt knob. Stocked in European Walnut with heavy fiddleback figure. Point pattern checkering is 26 LPI and extends over the top on the grip and wraps the forearm. Shadow line cheekpiece. Ebony forend tip. 13 3/4" LOP to an engraved steel buttplate with widow's peak.
