I just heard from him and he stated that he is back on it.
Appears his mom moved in their home and it was a bit more distraction than anticipated...:)

I sent him a Tikka stock a while back and he was on it pretty quick. Textured, painted beautifully with a camo design and shipped back. It wasn't a two day turnaround but I never expected it to be and he communicated pretty well as far as how the progress was going. I will be sending him more work.......

Grinning--yeah, he does nice work..I like the texturing.
I believe that is pretty close to Dober's barrel prescription on a 280, BTW...:)

24" no shank, 6.15 @ muzzle.
with weaver bases sans scope, it goes 6 # 3oz
Browning (FN) small ring 98 & Bansner
hangs nice even when panting like a dog...might have an inch too much barrel...;)

Douglas air gaged, chambered 280 for 150/160g Maybe you would like the g33 6.5x257 above it in pic better, as it has nearly the exact dimensions but at a 22 1/2" barrel. MG stock. Do prefer the look and feel of the Bansner, personally, fwiw. Also prefer Darren's version of matte black and his texturing, too. Just as grippy, but less conspicuous. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/Z2IjCFe.jpg)

Thanks for the info Tom... the Banser, with a no. 2 or larger barrel, is my favorite stock.
My last 270 was 22.5"... that's a great way to go. Your G33 is nice!

Agree with you Brad, mine too. The fore end is a bit substantial for the lighter stuff. Have a Sheephunter an old boy converted for a 7x57 98--nice rig.

I don't mean to be rude but I hate to see nicely figured wood covered by paint. I'm old fashioned I guess but to me, nothing is better than some nice walnut and blued steel.

Have a stock on its way to Darren to paint.
My .458 Model 70 is Electroless Nickel plated so I need a color scheme that worked with that and did away with the boring green/grey finish I had.
There is a time to remove the walnut and get serious.

When people face the possibility of freezing or starving there is little chance they are going to listen to unfounded claims of climate doomsday from a bunch of ultra-rich yacht sailing private jet-setting carbon-spewing hypocrite elites

Darren, Have you ever stripped the Dura-Touch coating off of a Browning X-B0lt stock and painted it? If so, does the paint stick well? Thanks, RJ
