Honestly, I really do own some blued and walnut rifles but here's the latest stock I finished yesterday:

Not my thing but I can't help admire the skill that has gone into making that stock.

The stock comes out at 1.6kg/3.5lb. Recoil is pretty non existent with the brake on it which is handy for staying on target, without it it's only a 260 so it's still very tame with 140's at 2800fps.

I just checked and the AICS it replaced is 2.5kg/5.5lb so it's a fair weight saving. It balances right on the front action screw with this rifle in it so feels good. A regular Boyds thumbhole is 2.8lb plus the trigger guard so it's quite carryable.

Yep Seddo, around $1300 as it sits there. I'm working on a spigot setup for the front that will run a bit more but will take all the AI spigot mount accessories. Also a fixed rail that pokes out the front as an alternative to move the bipod a bit further forward. The butt will change a touch to move the cheekpiece locking screws down a little and the cheekpiece will be a bit longer. The gap at the bottom in from of the pad is to fit a monopod or bag rider. It uses a Limbsaver 10011 pad.
