| I have seen this type of stock carving before. Very nice work. Not exactly my cup of tea, but executed very well. |

| I'm not into this sort of thing, but I like it. The buff looks real good.

| stock looks good, not sure if i like the checkering...have seen and shot a gun with this before and i thought it was slippery. Now the Statue in Blue that is displaying the stock is right up there...

Wasn't sure if you meant the framed assualt rifles, the brunette, or the stock!  I would like just the scene of the buff and not all the checkering. |

| If I were retiring the rifle to be put on display along side or under a mount of the game taken along with some other items of tribute to the hunt and safari, I think that is just perfect.

| "Art" is subjective. I think the buff looks very nice and it certainly took someody with great skill. I have replaced most of my wood stocks with HS Precission Stocks, so I would not use such a stock on a hunting rifle myself, but if you would, it's your rifle and the buff carving looks great. In fact, I would like the name and contact info of the artist, if you don't mind. |

| Not something that I would have thought of but it is VERY well done. What is a ballpark price for work like that to be done?

| I like it. It is very reminiscent of the work by Packmayer near the 20' and 30's.
It is also an artform coming back for non purist gun fanciers. Or at least those who appreciate the unique qualities. I met a your woman near Sacramento last week who is also doing this work. She is using various points with a pneumatic drill of sorts. Lots of stippling.

| I think it is remenicent of some german carvings I have seen. I became a total gun snob for a while and would not like this but now I like even sporterized military rifles... I really don't know why.

| I would love it if it was on the wall in the house but I would never dare let it leave the house either. I have to go synthetic across the board. They get used and abused and I hate seeing pretty wood stocks get damaged. |
