I have mine.
1949 .270 in a stock I inletted, finished, and checkered myself. Leupold QR mount for quick Lyman 48 interchangeability, 4x scope ( happens to be an old Burris). There is zero wood exposed. The entire action, magazine well, and barrel channel is epoxied in.
And the old girl shoots too:
That is a 200 yard 3 shot group fired prone over my backpack on the Wyoming prairie with the wind behind me.
Love that rifle.
