A takedown would be very cool. Enjoy your new rifle.

How about a 8x56 to keep it company? I have a friend who is selling his. It was purchased from Griffin and Howe years ago and was made between 1906 and 1930. (Don’t think Griffin and Howe did work on it). For its age it is in incredible condition. In case your rifle needs company.

This is the best deal on a semi custom you will find in a CZ550 458 Lott. Since it was worked on my Tim, you can be certain it will function flawlessly. Jefferry404 is great to work with, buy with confidence.

Richard’s Microfit doesn’t do duplication. It say they do on the we site, but the person who used to do it left. Their stocks are very rough and buyer beware on the grading. I got a AAA English to see how they are, and it was more like AA. Lots of reshaping and sanding to make it usable. Just my...

There are a number of good books about checkering, you tube videos and I am sure gunsmiths that have old stocks to practice on. One would have to get a mentor. It seems like it is really hard for young people to afford to do it becuase they need to make a minimum amount to feed their family...

Anyone think about doing stock checkering as a part time gig in retirement? The industry is really desperate for my craftsmen and woodworking can be almost zen like. ‍

In my experience…buying a stock from an old rifle can have significant fitting issues.

Wonderful dinner! Thank you for hosting!

Very pretty shotgun. I also have a thing for beautiful 28 gauges. So nice to carry. Shoot like a dream.
