Beautiful! They let you ahve those in Austin?
A rifle is a hammer, it drives nails. A functional tool. Now shotguns are a different subject.

I love all my guns I have only one synthetic stock rifle and looking for a really nice wood stock to replace it with all the rifle up until now are wood stock but looking at building a custom with a nice synthetic stock my favorite is my .280 since I sold an old cow my grandpa and grandma gave me used that money and money from a first gen glock my cousin gave me and told me to sell that rifle has accounted for most of my kills and just means a lot to me I say if I ever pass that gun is going to the grave with me

A factory K80 stock of that grade will buy several nice rifles. Your stock is about as good as it gets - very, very nice indeed!I'm more of a 4x4 guy myself, I'm just hard on ****,,, but I have infatuation with fine, extremely well figured wood rifles that point like a fine English shotgun .. in fact I have 3 in my safe that probably will only the see the woods a few times but **** they perty!! This one is built on a G series model 70 that I bought original when Winchester decided too make a few 300 ultra mags.. fast forward quite a few years and yes its still a 300 ultra but just way better now after I got done with it!!View attachment 322146View attachment 322147View attachment 322151View attachment 322152View attachment 322153View attachment 322150

That link will have me drooling when I pour over it later. I've had 5 Cooper rifles and a couple older Browning's that had spectacular upgraded wood. Good shooters all, but it just pained me to hunt hard with them. I still have two of the Cooper's, and a Browning Citori with pretty decent wood, but my real using rifles now are CF and stainless steel. They're customs and treated like the fine precision tools they are, but it doesn't bother me a bit when one is propped up against a tree covered in snow and ice while I'm quartering an elk.
I always appreciate hearing about 7MM Mauser - 7 X 57. I have my Dad's Interarms Carbine 7mm and my son appropriated my Mauser FN Belgium 7MM. We used both this past Nov. hunting in SE Alaska. They are perfect for the job at hand...Thanks for sharing. ME
That is real beauty!
And not too gaudy, just perfect.I thought I was the only one here that is technology-challenged.

I have a few nice wood stocked rifles . A couple Sako's, etc.. I just can't bring myself to taking them out and hunting hard with them. One Sako has beautiful wood on it and has sentimental value to me. It's a 300 win. mag. With a Luepold 4.5x12x40 one inch scope on it. It's only had 12 rounds through it. 9 were me sighting it in for a good friend. Now days most of my rifles are synthetic and stainless. I still try not to abuse them but when I do it doesn't bother me. Scopes on them are another story.
I love wood stock..but when I started buying haunting rifles, I opted for synthetic and kept my wood in the safe.
You might want to keep those "haunting rifles" in the safe, too. If you don't use them often enough they may decide to haunt you. Mine certainly haunt me if I don't use them.
