Stocks with beautiful wood.

Savagecanuck,

Can you operate your safety?

Sure can these are the original stocks so it's inletted for the large wing safety.

Maybe not as nice as some here but I had to have this 455 varmint because I liked the the wood so much.

And a closed up of the butt

Ok, I'll play.
Here is my rem 40X with a stock that has just been refinished by my gunsmith.

That's a fine looking rifle, Gilbert.

Thanks Glenn,
It's been at my gunsmith's for several month. He has refinished the stock and he bedded and pillar bedded the action. I have not shot it yet. will most certainly do next week-end. I will keep you informed of my initial thoughts ( accuracy wise )

Cz 455 fs. That was under the cz mud. Sold the gun shortly after as accuracy wasn't even close to what my 452's will do.

Thanks gamekeeper and zedbra. It took about two years to complete that build. It's my first real custom build having to deal with suppliers and highly skilled tradespeople. I can't say enough good about klaus and bruce. Both were excellent to deal with.

I learned a lot in the process and made a few mistakes along the way. They didn't really cost me money but did increase the schedule or reduce the quality in some way. If I ever do another build like this one I'll know better and do a few things differently.

It's certainly an experience I would tell anyone who loves guns to do once in thier life. It's worth going through the process and the end result is one of a kind and it's yours!

That's a terrific looking stock! Is the barrel an HB?

 

[buckbrush]

I am surprised there is much slab saw-en wood in a high grade blank.

Osborne: A real gem you got there.

Yes Osborne that is a really fine looking rifle. The ebony on the snauble for end ,bottom of pistol grip and butt are plain awesome. The wood is beautiful as well.
