Craig , the stocks based on a copy of Sako Heavy Varmint rifle with some changes to the pistol grip. The rifle is a Sako L461 , originally in 222 & re-barrelled to 17 Rem with a TSE stainless. It's really a replica ( of sorts) of the one I passed ( foolishly) to my young bloke (now 50 ! ) about 15 or so years ago.

So what sort of oil is in the jar?

Or is that like asking Colonel Sanders his secret herbs and spices? :lol:

Looks like it needs a shake though!

No big Secret Glenn the oil has three components at this stage Tung Oil cut 75/25 with ......ne and the stuff you can see in the bottom of the jar is ......a .

No polish or beeswax is added yet as I have found that any waxes or polishes stop the oil from being drawn into the wood.

Hadn't thought too much about checkering Bruce at this stage - maybe later on perhaps.
