[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 2080779, member: 108926"] Diffently a BDL, the early models had pressed checkering, this one features cut checkering, Remington made the change I believe in 1970, Bill Ruger forced both Remington and Winchester to drop the pressed checking when ruger produced the model 77, from a old stock makers view that stock would be referred to as fiddleback rather than tigerwood, once in awhile the rifle makers kick one out with exceptional wood, which always led me to believe that the gun company employies are not always real gun people, if I saw that stock go thru the production line I would have made sure it was mine, the nicest peace of wood I ever saw on a factory produced rifle was on a early ruger 77 in 6MM, it was truly outstanding, the price seems to be on high side at least by pre election prices, however from a personal standpoint I am willing to pay extra for a peace of wood like that, [/QUOTE]
