Bringing this one back to the top. Life is a learning process, and I try my best to acknowledge when I’m incorrect. After looking at a bunch of my browns - and some other stocks that have come up since this original thread - I’m going to change my response and agree with 338. I think that this is most likely an mpi; not brown. Are you sure now? I was in suspense. Waiting to know exactly what it is, and also a range report. Get on with it OP!! Going to the range doesn't take much time at all.. Just sayin.. Speaking of this stock I.D schidt, there is one on ebay right now that you may need to look at.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Aware of that one; fellow cf member is on the hunt for it. Ok, I won't bid on it then... Thanks buddy.. There is a good chance he will get it at a very reasonable price, if he can snipe it. Just a warning.. Hopefully he sees this. That's how I got my Brown PoundR for $400, and the very nice Pacific Research for the same price.

Nice, the four hardest things to say.
1. I am sorry
2. I love you
3. I am wrong
4. Worcestershire sauce 😂

I likely won't take it to the range until April. I have already changes scopes and mounts 3 times trying to find something I like before I start throwing Federal Premium 150's down range.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

I likely won't take it to the range until April. I have already changes scopes and mounts 3 times trying to find something I like before I start throwing Federal Premium 150's down range. Just put an old gloss Leupold or Burris on it. What's wrong with the Zeiss that is on it? Leupld DD's generally always work, for mounts and rings. Or steel weaver style mounts, like Leupold PRW/QRW or modified Warne mounts, and Burris Zee rings. Looks like a nice rifle. Formerly a std wt, probably about a 1961. When I got my 338wm in the Brown PoundR, the stainless barrel was left like yous, I had it cerakoted, then painted the stock and added a red pachmayr. I always thought it looked unfinished, left how it was, but a guy could use it just like it is pretty easily.

Yes, I think the stock may need to go to John Boy for a paint job and try to figure out who to send the action to and have it coated.

For coating, maybe Eddie Fosnaugh? I have been very happy with the few cerakote jobs I've had done, but I had a local guy do mine.
