It looks like it has a pretty decent stick of walnut on it. It really does have some nice wood.I got the wood from a dedicated T/C guy and he took partial payment with some Warne quick-detach rings. My own T/C's are muzzleloaders and a 20ga fully rifled barrel for shotgun only counties and are all stainless with plastic stocks.

a gift that will last a lifetime, and will be highly prized. Thanks Sam. My uncle has owned this Contender/action since 1983. Unfortunately he never had any boys,all girls, so he gifted it to me for my boy. This has been in the works for two years.I've been trading and buying this into its current configuration for his Christmas present.
