[FOTIS]

Fell in love right away. Who can say no to lumber like that!

Mark V 300 bee on its way to Cheyenne. More picture upon arrival :mrgreen:

What's need got to do with it?

 

[DrMike]

Lovely stick, Fotis. That wood has real character. It will be delightful to see your pictures after you receive the rifle.

 

[FOTIS]

Thank you Mike.

Got some 190 ABLR's ready for her!!!!

 

[Guy Miner]

My Goodness Fotis! That's beautiful wood.

Japanese rifle? Or American? I'm thinking made in America.

It looks GREAT, and of course the cartridge is a modern classic. Nicely done.

 

[FOTIS]

Yes sir USA made. Original owner shot a few rounds through her.

He said the 165 TSX factory bee load was 3400 over an Oehler 35 and consistent 1/2" groups. His words not mine.

Crap Fotis my man, you have RADD seriously bad! You have lessened the doubt and misgivings I have been having about doing this custom rifle I am having built! I see there are others much worse off than I and it gives me comfort! :mrgreen: :lol:

I have a couple of really nicel custom stocked rifles, which I have had since the early 1970's. I have mountain hunted hard with these rifles all over the western states for 40 years plus and have kept the wood and surfaces of these stocks pretty fresh by addressing small scratches and finjsh breaks as soon as they occur in order to keep these stocks looking sharp, despite bad weather and moving through pucker brush and rocks. Move slowly and be considerate of where you are placing these pieces of wood to protect finish and bluing.

With a little thought, you can hunt hard and keep these rifles looking nice for most of their useful life! I have killed a lot of game with these rifles and they still look awfully good considering? It can be done.
