Very nice, sort of reminds me of the microbed Brownell's used to sell. That stopped 25 years back I think. It was a two tube epoxy with die.

Nice blueing on the metal.
Too bad they lost the rear sight when the scope was mounted.
Why do people do that?
A factory stock will not line up your eye with the scope properly btw.
How about the The Marlin 1895 SBL Marlin Firearms. is pretty good too.
I think that I have changed my mind about fitting a new stock to this rifle. The Remington 721 in 300 H&H that I sent to McGowen Precision Barrel just arrived today and what I think I will do, since the 300 H&H is no longer original is use its original stock on the 30-06 Rem 721, and fit the new stock to the 300 H&H.
I bought two stocks a chunk of Gaboon Ebony for the forend and a bit of Holly wood for a spacer between the stock and forend tip. Just need to decide which stock to use. One has a really nice red transition and the other has really nice character.

I see the problem, they both appeal.
The top one will require a lot more work in profiling the wood, it's on the thick heavy side; but that grain pattern is hard not to want.Quote:
