Bob,
I appreciate the kind words on the design, however, we'll have to agree to disagree on the taste and bum bit...;-) Even though you are running a Super Chicken on that rifle... Great scope for the money. Only scope for THAT money...
It would be awfully stock specific, however, I see it as a natural progression. The Legend Stock would be the ideal starting point. Anyone who likes that handle would not bat an eye at the cost if they liked/loved the function. In truth they wear out or more accurately get clogged with facial oils and such and NEED to be replaced. I am going to see about pursuing this idea and don't be surprised if you find yourself a field tester. I value your opinion highly...
Regards, Matt.

Speaking of Echols, here's a post my friend Chuck Nelson put up on AR a couple years back about D'Arcy's desert sheep hunt. He ended up killing it with his wife's M77 6.5-06 and 6X Leupold... http://forums.accuratereloading.com/eve/forums?a=tpc&f=300106493&m=7611090641

Brad, Thanks for bringing that back up. Interesting in the extreme. Whatever happened to Chuck? I used to enjoy talking to him... How he gets out of bed and looks folks in the eye after using a Ruger 77 says as much about Darcy's inner strength as anything I have ever heard. I intend to give him just a little grief over that the next time we talk...  To live with that shame and carry on... By God you have to admire his grit...(laughing out loud now) Regards, Matt.

That pad moves,too after a couple of shots.Just grab it and drag it back in place.Stretchy stuff is good. Your suggestion for the suede would be nicer,and classier, than my solution but it's clear to me you are more sophisticated and have better taste than I do...I am kind of a bum... A bum would use some blue painter's tape to keep the pad from moving.

Brad: I remember that thread. "The cobbler's kids are never shod.." or so the saying goes! I think Jerry Fisher's hunting rifle is a pre 64 M70 standard in 7x57 that was punched out to 7 Rem Mag years back. The problem all these skilled rifle makers have is that every time they build a rifle for themselves,someone wants to buy it,and it being how they make a living, the rifle gets sold. I recall that Len Brownell built himself a 280...

Bob, I have handled Fisher's 7 Mag. Trust me, that stock doesn't feel much like it did when it left the Winchester factory!
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
