[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 1195272, member: 6152"] Thanks for the compliments guys.. This build was fun and challenging to say the least. Thanks you for your patience during the build Randy, I know I went way over on time with this one. The challenging part was trying to make the Weatherby MK V fit into a stock that was not designed to accommodate it. Not to mention a top shelf Turkish Walnut piece. I actually made a pattern off the EH 1 as my template for inletting and shaping before I started making chips fall off the Turkish piece. That required making two stocks to get one. I embrace challenges.. After I was satisfied with the "dummy stock", I then made the stock you see. We look forward to seeing "Checkmate" in action this fall:D I didn't take a lot of pictures along the way, but here are a few that I did snap.. [/QUOTE]
