Sweet rifle. Looks great.
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

The checkering looks really great on that 788. Did you enhance the grain on the bottom 788? Some came with pretty nice wood, here's my 788-222Rem ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/2093/HfpZOB.jpg)
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

That's by far the best figured wood of any 788 that I've ever seen.
Most 788's have the same figured wood as a pop cycle stick.

I wrapped the wood and put it in a box when I made the rifle into a coyote hunting rifle. I'll put it back in the original wood when I get to old to call critters. Ready to go to work. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/7039/xAbeUE.jpg)
