Well, about a week before I left for Namibia in June, I asked my friend, if he could do a little reshaping of the stock on my 7x61 and refinish. As you can see in the photo it was an old custom.


Well, the sneaky bastige picked up a semi-inlet blank and the project just grew. This baby will hunt, but I think it looks good just sit'n too! The only thing left to do is some simple checkering.

Now, to get some 160tsx loaded up! Big Grin

Beauty, eh? Hope you kept the old stock too -- reads like the new stock is a different one.

fishingAlways thought the 7x61S&H was a classic cartridge design. Still do. Your rifle is grand also, checkering or not. The checkering certainly will elivate it in appearance and utility. Good Hunt. claproger
