308ld: The grip cap area is smooth without checkering. Curious as to why you are asking. Do you have the laminate stock too?

No I do not have one. I just follow some of the rare M77s. The first/early M77 laminated stocks were checkered and had pistol grip caps. But because of the difficulty in checkering that stock, they discontinued the checkering and only a few hundred of the checkered stocks were produced.
Nice looking stock.
I believe that's a model M77R-DZ.
DZ= "Desert camo" laminated stock, colors of light reddish brown, light walnut and tan.
