Mine wasn't so beautiful but it did grow on me a bit before I sold it.
The member who ordered the stock called it "Old Ugly".

I was a nice stock though and it housed a very nice SS LH M70.

What's the barrel length on that fine rifle?

That has to be one of the most nicely put together rifles I've ever seen. Ever.

Here's a couple, I just finished repainting the S/S .375, it usually has a 1.5X5 Leupold on it. The bottom one is a Pre 64 .270 it moves back and forth between stocks. the French is actually 1/4# lighter. --- Mel

Old blue did the flutes lighten up that 375H&H for you pretty good?

I'm not sure what the weight was before restocking and cutting the flutes, but it weighs 7.75# as pictured and the flutes helped the balance and handling a lot. --- Mel

.300 Win Mag 'smithed by John Ricks several years back for a trip to Africa I booked for Dad and myself for his retirement. Action opened to Express length and box mod'd to get rid of the ridiculous 3.34" constraint. Pac-Nor 3 groove, 10 twist, #3 contour at 25", throated for the 180 Partition. McM Supergrade, Leupy 3.5-10x40 in Talleys. I'm one of the world's foremost 7mm Rem Mag sluts, but this rifle has become a favorite despite...some 57 critters with 59 shots.

Very nice. Damn near identical build to one of my rifles. The 300 Win. is a great round, imo.
