Both nice looking stocks.

If God had meant for gunstocks to be plastic, he would’ve made trees out of it.

That one will come up really well.

The BB is a two barrel set. 375 Flanged and 470. Went to Namibia with my as the Version 1 in 2013. Being reworked (version 4 or so now) ever since.

I am an absolute wood whore. This one is on a .340 Wby that a client gave to me.

That looks shiny, ever the recoil pad is shiny.

 

[Jon Glajchen]

I Phone photo lighting not so good. The Silvers recoil pad was polished by the rifle smith.
The stock is actually not so shiny in the sunlight.

 

[Safari Dave]

Those are both great. Maple has a story all of it's own. I presume it is strong?

I hope so.


I've never shot it.

Oh my heart, that is exquisite!

 

[Safari Dave]

Exquisite!

Sometimes Weatherby's just reel me in because of beautiful wood.

I've never had one break.

 

[Safari Dave]

I don't really like shiny, but someone (Leupold?) needs to make at least one glossy black, good quality, versatile scope, to mount on shiny rifles.

 

[WillMFerguson]

Agreed. They really are beautiful! I had the clear epoxy-like coating crack on that rifle during a bison hunt. -20 degrees Fahrenheit is unkind to anything.

I'm not surprised. I've never hunted when it was that cold.

I'll be hunting high country elk in Wyoming in late October this year, but I will (more than likely) be carrying a Euromark in .300 Wby Mag. (Unless I'm so old and worn out, that I have to drop back to an ultra-light, synthetic stock rifle (god forbid).

Timber has life; even though it was felled, Quarter-sawn (I HOPE!) and laid up 20, 50, 100 years ago, it still shows through. There are planks in my house floor, that despite over 60 years of wear and tear still show through...

 

[NW James]

Natural light makes a big difference in appearance. My R8 Jaeger and sunlight highlighting the most dramatic fiddlleback I have come across.

Gotta love birds-eye!
