I was thinking the same thing, Rick. Though the forearm does have nice figure to it.

I was hoping to see it in person, but somebody called the local Cabela's and bought it before I could get there.

damnesia - there's several ways to add tiger striping to a stock. Usually involves heating stripes onto the stock - either by wrapping a string and then having it burn off, or covering areas and burning the rest. They do it on muzzleloaders and even guitars and such.

But not all tiger striping is fake.. this one has very regular stripes though.
