The bolt handle turned out nice. Did you build up the bolt release?

Brown.
The bolt handle looks better in person. It's got a funny glare on it in the picture. I am EXTREMELY pleased with it. It is very nice.
I didn't have the bolt stop built up, but probably will send an extra I have here to Mark Penrod and have him do one for me.
I'll try and post some details of the build when I get a minute tonight. There are some pretty neat and unique features built into that LH action.

It is a very nice touch. You'll have pretty much all bases covered with a Penrod release.
Specs would be nice.
Weigh it yet?What he said. Looks good with the red pad, IMO.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. I've had this one about three weeks now and have been having too much fun shooting it to think about paint just yet! Spring bear hunt next week-end pushes it even farther away...I can't say the unfinished look particularly bothers me though. Hell, why even bother...it'll never be no Cooper!
Beautiful rifle BTW Chuck...stick to the neutral colors and please avoid the "webbing". It's been done to death.

Yeah, like dark dark chocolate brown.
That gun is lovely Chuck, but it aint no Cooper;-)
I'd take exactly that in a right handed variety. I love that bolt handle.
