Beautiful rifle buddy!! How do you like the montecarlo pattern swirly? Is it pretty slick feeling? Some guys say they like the texture painted stocks better because they offer more grip, especially in adverse conditions. I've been contemplating a swirly for my 375.
I love it. Just like your favorite Pre-64 and made to order. The checkering has excellent grip and nice feel. Paint sucks, get a swirl and you'll understand why. For sure I'll get another at some point. It's one of my favorite hunting patterns.

Here's the Featherweight .30-06. Paid it off today! It has an ol' Redfield 4x with either a 1/4 or 1/2 minute dot.

Just be careful because it will start kicking others out of the safe. Especially if it shoots like mine. Nice looking rifle there. You should put a McMillan on your other 30-06 fwt....
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

I really like the old pre 64 montecarlo pattern as well.

I haven't tried lighter or heavier in them, but I'm sure they would like 200's and 220's as well as the light TSX's...
