OP Greenbrier Campfire Regular G Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,303	I really like the cheek piece that a mt rifle stock has but dont know how well it would look w/ a #3 barrel in it. Would someone please post a picture of one? I really would like to see where it lays inside the forearm area. I appreciate the time taken to do this if you have one.

I thought it may look too "stuffed" in the forearm area, but it looks just fine to me in your picture. BTW-what color combo did you use?

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
