Is that from Shiloh? I would like something like that on my '77 if they ever start building them... yes, Shiloh - a .45-90 #1 Sporter. "Extra Fancy" by the way, not "Presentation", which is the next higher grade I really don't know how you could upgrade that stick, 'cause it's damn near full flame burl figure in the butt. The 77 does have a little different wood options than the 74. I've thought about ordering a 77 myself. But I talk about light barrels in .38-55 and heads spin. They have made at least one of them, that was at the NRA show... "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

Nice wood, Shrap. Did you do the fitting? With rich rosewood, it's often so oily most finishes have problems drying. I found a good soaking in acetone sucks a lot of that oil out of the wood, making it easier to finish. With the burl rosewood pictured earlier, I did that and noted the acetone took the black background off the Ruger medallion. That's OK, as it looks good on the SS ROA. I used Custom Pro oil, a tung oil/urethane product that Brownells sells. It's harder and tougher than Tru-Oil. DF

With the burl rosewood pictured earlier, I did that and noted the acetone took the black background off the Ruger medallion. That's OK, as it looks good on the SS ROA. I used Custom Pro oil, a tung oil/urethane product that Brownells sells. It's harder and tougher than Tru-Oil.

This is Maj. Charles Askins, Sr.'s personal Superposed. He was one of the top gunwriters and shotgun gurus of the '30's and 40's and Col. Charles Askins, Jr.'s father. Wood restored by James Flynn, Gunmaker, right down to the vintage, flat topped checkered diamonds. Flynn is a master of the leather pad. The Major had a rubber pad that had been replace and the replacement was in bad shape. So we went with period appropriate restoration rather than literal photo perfect reproduction. We could have gotten Silvers or Hawkins reproduction pads, but because of Flynn's expertise with pigskin, this was a no-brainer. Photos by Flynn.

I've sold off all but one of my wood and blued rifles, and not bought one in many years. But, the craftsmanship of the carved stock really spoke to me. The carving provides a really solid grip, more so than any checkering I've ever handled. Hope to have a photo with it beside a nice deer this season.

Built in 1978, with a mesquite fully bedded stock.she was dirty, neglected and beat-up. I bought her, replaced the bottom metal and trigger guard with new old stock steel parts, cleaned up and machine turned the bolt. Installed new scope mounts, rings and scope. Had a muzzle brake installed. Cleaned up the stock, touched up the the bluing. She shoots straight too!
