THAT is good wood!!

Unfortunately, too many people think that thier crap wood factory stock is GOOD WOOD and better than a good snythetic, becasue it came form a tree!

 

[Dustin]

You mean wood like on my Mauser custom 270 Wby?

Ted

Ted, you're my hero!

 

[Why not?]

THAT is good wood!! D

Yep, Circassian Walnut. Not only highly figured, but almost perfect grain flow through the pistol grip.

I would hate to have to buy this piece of wood today!

[machinistbutler]

That is a nice piece of wood.,if you ever needed too at least you could split it up and light a fire.The plastic stocks stink too much ...oOPs too many beers.

Ted

YEah, no ####!!!

 

[Win94]

Fellas, those all look great and makes me wish that i hadn't done the simple "bedliner" approach to my stevens 200 .270 As a side note, i painted my very faded Jeep TJ fender flares with Krylon Fusion last spring and can attest to its durability and wear factor. This paint rocks.

[Win94]

OUCH!!

You goddamn haggis eating scotch drinking bastard!!

While we ar eon the topic of wood stocks, I will (once again) give my opinion, even though I everyone knows I am not very opinionated!

Most factory wood stocks are TRASH, plain and simple. (Although smae goes for most factory synthetics, too)

Some are nice, most are horrible these days.

If I hear one more moron looking at one of my Bansner/Mcmillon high quality stocks and say "I would never have one of those cheapo plastic piece of #### stocks" while lovingly caressing his factory #### wood stock, with machine checkering and some ugly as #### white line spacers...

Good wood is good wood, and good wood is wonderful, but you are very unlikely to find it on a Remington/Winchester etc etc these days..

 

[agilent_one]

My attempt. Stock is for a Sav 12FV in .243.

 

[Salty]

Looks good agilent one. Simple, nice warm bush tones. Better be carefull where you set your rifle down, you may have a hard time finding it again
