It may be getting a little late in the hunting season but I made these and think they should still sell well.
From LtoR: (bullet size is prior to modification for pen use)
1st - 308 w/8mm 175 grain match grade Solid Copper dressed in Gun Metal and BLM burl
2nd - 8mm Mauser w/175 grain match grade Solid Copper dressed in Gold and Cocobolo
3rd - 3006 w/155 grain match grade FMJ dressed in Gun Metal and Walnut
4th - 3006 w/155 grain match grade FMJ dressed in Satin Nichol and Marble Wood
5th - 3006 w/155 grain match grade FMJ dressed in Chrome and Antler
6th - 3006 w/155 grain match grade FMJ dressed in Gold and Antler
7th - 3006 w/155 grain match grade FMJ dressed in Gold and Antler
8th - 300 Weatherby Magnum w/155 grain match grade FMJ dressed in Chrome and Walnut Burl

Other side of cap
(note difference in length of exposed portion of twist mechanism, the 300 mag is almost hidden. That is one huge case. It may not be mistaken for a 50 cal but...)
213108
Refills are a variate of Parker styles including standard pen, roller ball, and gell(writes like a roller ball)
The caps require at least a bushing to keep it centered over the twist mechanism. I include a center band as part of the bushing. About half are turned out of black acrylic, the others are turned out of black wood. Not sure if it is Ebony or African Black Wood or something else. The example below is wood.

Edit: Finish is - All wood components have 10 coats of CA as finish MM to 12000. Brass is sanded to 800, Brasso polished, wiped with MS then two coats of lacquer.
C&C appreciated
