Interesting Provenance Of Precision Rifle

[chopper 1]

Before I restored this 1950's BSA ISU rifle you could see various bands of colour in the wood , gold, yellow , tan , red , brown etc. It Was unique but fugly . Its still there , a little steel wool can bring it back . Research proved it was french walnut - a tree dating back to Napoleonic times . The differing bands of colour were due to the weather changes over the years in the region of France wear the tree grew.

The Internationals were a grand rifle, I have one myself, because my father used one for years before C.I.L. started handling Anschutz.
it simply drives tacks and will shoot under 1" @200 yards on a good day if I am up to reading the wind.
They came with an electric bedding system in the forend for a while as well.
is that An old redfield on there?
