A crack in the stock by the pistol grip,,is it safe too shoot?
 
Yes it's safe to shoot. I've shot 3 whitetails with 85 grain barnes that piled up. As well as paper. Crack showed up after allowing a buddy to borrow the gun for a deer hunt.. Hmmmm... As mentioned, the gun shoots well but my opinion is that it would benefit from a good stock and bed job..(as would most).

Dang, if it werent for that crack in the stock I would be all over this one.
 
Back up. Fyi.....Open to offers. Solid rifle. Has a crack in original stock that is not obvious and does not hinder its safe/accurate operation. I changed my mind when I began the project and never put an aftermarket stock on it. It's functional as is but would be outstanding with new stock. I don't want to bother, I have other things going on. Thanks
