OP luv2safari Campfire Ranger Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 28,172 Here Or There	Age, injuries, and expense of hunting these days have made a hard decision for me. It's time to scale back and set sights lower. It will take me a few days to take photos of ones now without, but here's what I'm listing. Shipping is additional and charged relative to your preferences. Early Rem 700 BDL 25-06. It has a lightly refinished stock and moderate wear. It shoots well with anything I've tried... .75-1.25" $470.00 FN/SAKO Supreme 375 Wby, beautifully hand carved basket-weave stock, one standing/one folding open sights. 3-position safety on cocking piece. It's a great Africa do-all rifle. I have dies, brass, and factory ammo that will get sold in a separate transaction with either the rifle buyer or after the rifle is sold. $1,250.00 Well experienced FN action 375 H&H. The gun is Very light @ about 7.4 pounds with the Bear Cub 4X in early Redfield JR mounts. The pad has a spacer to 13 7/8" LOP...pad poor. The action and stock were aggressively lightened. The barrel is light contour. Gun shows moderately heavy external wear. The bore is good. No open sights. Sling not included. Toss it in your saddle scabbard and go elk killing. $675.00 [img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/FN%20375-8_zpsqunleg02.jpg[/img] [img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/FN%20375-4_zpsedzquejh.jpg[/img] [img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/FN%20375-3_zpsy701fxml.jpg[/img] [img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/FN%20375-2_zpsujqwtg2b.jpg[/img] [img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/FN%20375-5_zpsqstfbhn4.jpg[/img] [img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/FN%20375-1_zpsivgb4jlr.jpg[/img] Beautiful (!) Rem 722 257 Roberts. This has the nicest wood I have ever seen on the 721/722 guns. Original metal butt plate and nicely done light refinish. Bluing is 97%; bore is excellent. This is a cream-puff. $750.00 Will be listing more SOON... Last edited by luv2safari; 05/04/15. Hunt with Class and Classics Religion: A founder of The Church of Spray and Pray Acquit v. t.

Everybody oughta have one of those. Ahlman's in Morristown, MN, does basket weave checkering. They did my Wife's 10/22 stainless laminated mannlicher and matched it with a walnut stock for her 77 MK2 in 7.62x39. Hard to beat Ahlman's for quality, speed, and price.

I'd go blind doing what Ahlman's does. It takes far more skill and patience than I ever had. Last edited by luv2safari; 05/04/15.

I was about to order a Richard's Microfit factory second exhibition grade "old classic" and try my hand at finishing/fitting (but kind of liking this stock you have). Thanks!

I had to go to a Kimber MT 257 Roberts, due to limited use of my left arm from now on, and 722s aren't exactly FW guns.
