Wondering about style although I already thought about Rigby style. Any ideas here for a 400 Whelen? Be Well, RZ. Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.

Don't have a pic of the finished rifle unfortunately but this 416 Ruger under a Whitworth .375 H&H for comparison weighed 8.5 lbs scoped and was a real joy to shoot. Don't underestimate the value of a properly fitted stock.
