Best looking stock

This is probably the nicest stock I have, clothing a Dumoulin Centurion in 7x64

My CZ-550 has beautiful wood for being a mass-produced rifle. I'll have to post pictures of some of my Weatherbys. :sneaky:

This is my Weatherby Athena IV. Not the greatest picture, this shotgun has a beautiful stock.

What was the story surrounding this one? I can't find the original post, so please forgive me if it is your's.
This I would rate as SPECTACULAR, the best stock I have ever seen.

The accent behind the pistol grip pretty much identifies it as one of the Ferlach school of stock shaping. I think they refer to that as a "bowtie" without which "it looks incomplete" according to Mssr. Borovnik.
I hope the grain turns through the pistol gip or it might be prone to breakage?

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
