I had a brainfart and shot the wrong stock. Here is the dark camo M40A1. That's a sure sign of having too much schitt on your plate! Sorry about that Steelhead, but thanks jwill for the heads-up.

My 8Mag is riding in what amounts to a swirled dark but all the pics look like garbage and it all runs together and looks....welll.....dark. Looks nice with stainless or dark metal work.

Need to send the stock and bottom metal to CDI so they can inlet it. McMillan didn't go deep enough. I've got a Brux varmint contour waiting as soon as I get around to doing the stock and sending it to the smith. Sent from my Dingleberry Handheld Wireless

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
