Picked up a CZ-550 Medium (9,3 x 62 Mauser) a year back... very cheap. Gun stock was the horrible "Hogback" style and in really rough shape... added the MC with some spare teak and shaped with a rasp. Added about 2" to the LOP... and modified the foregrip to a pull claw idea I had. Then rubberized the whole carp in a camo pattern. Put on a fixed 6x H&R (Hertel & Reuss) #1... which was 26mm (so I also had to ream the 1" rings). She is finally together and I am very pleased... handles very well for me... Range report when I get the chance... FYI... 9,3 x 62 Mauser shoots 250 gr bullets (.366) at 2,700 FPS... factory ammo is SUPER CHEAP ($20/box) and the round hit game like a freight train... recoil is quite manageable. ![[Linked Image]](http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1317/13780285/24828328/414130154.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1317/13780285/24828328/414130163.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1317/13780285/24828328/414130155.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1317/13780285/24828328/414130156.jpg)
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Wow... That is one U G L Y rifle.
I sure hope that it shoots well.

That is about the ugliest rifle I have ever seen. You took off a "horrible 'hogback' " stock and replaced it with that?

That is the ugliest damn thing I have ever seen.
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

I thought you had obscured the stock using some kind of pixelization filter in Photoshop, and was wondering why. Why on earth would you want to edit your photos to blur out the stock?
Then I saw the last picture and realized... that's just how it looks...

If it fit me well, and shot good, I'd use it.
Guns are tools, the beauty is in the use.
Adornments, while nice, are secondary.
