Thanks Joe.

I have to get back on other projects so it's likely I won't have time to work on my rifle again for about 2 weeks, but as I do get the finish work done I'll post more pics. I expect to have this rifle done in time for the hunting seasons this year, but I doubt I'll use it until next year. I hope to do my hunting this year with my 6.5 Mannlicher, and maybe my 9.3X74R. I may even bring out my old 30-30 marlin for deer. It's fun to hunt with.

In the coming winter I am going to also build a 9.3X62 on a 98 Mauser in classic British fashion and also 2 Lee "speed'(ish) sporters. One of the Lee's will be for sale.

There is nothing wrong with plastic and laminated stocks and I do them for customers when they want, but for my guns, I derive far more pleasure from wood and old classic styling.
