US_Patriot Campfire Regular Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,880 CA, USA	Originally Posted by bsa1917hunter 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. "Then join in hand, brave Americans all!.....By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall"

It has an ol' Redfield 4x with either a 1/4 or 1/2 minute dot.

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... Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.
