A couple of projects I've finished in the past few days. .30-06, .50X209, and the Contender is a .357 Max.

Thanks Swampman700.
The top set is an Encore 223 full bull with high grade wood from Bullberry. The Contender in the middle has a MGM 22 mag barrel and Bullberry wood. The Encore on the bottom is a factory 22-250 with a Virgin Valley stock set made from Cherry. I know you asked about the stocks but thought I would add a little more detail about these rifles.

Nice set-ups all the way around. Tagged my first deer with a 357 Max this year. Complete pass through, 40 yrd run, venison in the freezer.

I used to have a Bullberry stock just like the middle one in the picture. I loved the feel but was just too pretty of a piece of wood to go banging around in the woods with so I traded it.

Those are nice. I have been a hardcore No. 1 fan for years but after using and seeing my Brother's TC I was impressed.

I'd love to find a 16-16 1/2 inch 222-223 barrel and make a little carbine out of one.

I shot the .30-06 and the Contender this morning and both were very accurate. The Encore shot 3/4" groups with 180 grain Remington Core-Lokt factory ammo at 100 yards. The Contender shot sub-1" groups at 25 yards using .38 Specials (my own loads using bullets that I had cast over Unique) and smaller groups using .357 Magnums.

I'm in billeting now but buying a house close by.
Once I'm settled we'll have to go shoot sometime.

I traded for a 460 S&W mag that has a muzzle brake soldered on for an overall length of 17". Waiting to see what the fire breathing carbine will do to a pig.

I just got a 24" 28 guage barrel for my G2 Carbine that was apparently made by the old Custom Shop, but had the ventilated rib made and marked by MGM (they confirmed that). Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but it locks up great on my G2 frame and is heavy enough that it will swing through a little, unlike my 22" .410 barrel, which is strictly a "poke and shoot" gun.

Can't wait to take the 28 barrel on my next "single shot only" quail hunt next fall!

The barrel I use most is a 16 3/4" .22 WRM by MGM; fits in my backpack. Shoots 3 in about 1 1/4" at 100 yards from a sitting position all day long with ammo it likes. Ground squirrel poison.
