Very nice! Did you swap out bolt shroud and trigger guard, or are those the new Tikka pieces?

Swapped the plastic bottom metal and plastic shroud for aluminum pieces. Swapped the recoil lug for a stout piece when I bedded the barreled action intothe stock.
Thanks for the compliments guys.
Truth be told, this was the third and last stock I built for him. All on new Tikkas. I'll have to see if I took any pictures of the other two before they went out the door.

Wow! I don't think that gun needs to be fired ever again. Put it in a museum or something cause that's amazing

Just simply gorgeous! Thanks for sharing

That's a beautiful rifle.. that wood grain is amazing.

To say you picked a "nice piece of American Black Walnut" is a HUGE understatement! That's exhibition for sure! Your work is definitely a masterful creation. The almost rollover cheek rest and shadow-lines are impeccably done! as my "handle says, I am a woodnut! Congratulations on a job very well done on a fine barreled action.

That's because you're too busy dreaming about other things...

beauty-ful craftsmanship! Always liked black walnut, the grain and shades of color are something special.

Thats a eye catcher!

That ain't no makeover, or touch up, that's a masterpiece.
Gotta love a nice piece of wood. Great job. Work of art.

Ps, a tikka is on my to do list.
