I remember a guy in high school saying about a girl he spent time with,"she's like a scooter, fun to ride but you don't want your friends to see you on it."

I guess it would be hard in business to maintain your ethics. I'd like to believe that I would be able to turn things like this away. At the very least they could put a cheap swivel stud in the front of the stock and put a cheap walmart sling on it.

Glad they were nice to you.

I think the "Hide Pictures" option was put there specifically for that rifle.

Gary Hopper is the owner, has about eight or ten employees. Great place to hangout. The truly scary part, this thing sits on the rack within 10 feet of his double rifles. I'm meeting Idjeffp over about two miles from there for lunch today. Maybe I can get him to go over with me and get a second more objective opinion. He's an engineer, maybe he can evaluate it more objectively...hah!! It looks as if each and every one of those polta dots was inletted by hand...maybe he drilled holes and stuck a foot long dowel in and cut it off flush? I have got to go over and give him some grief about this one AFTER lunch.

I'd like to know who the stockmaker was, so I could avoid him!!

No shops in Fresno even carry double rifles.

Dago Red,

Those girls your friend in high school was talking about are called "Mopeds"...

I have paid my penance...after lunch I went over to take another look at the rifle. He has it stashed in a corner...out of sight basically. I was wrong, it is carved acanthus leaves and the spots are seed pods. The leaves are routered/dremel tooled about 3/16" deep into the grip and forend. Each spot is a 3/16ths hole 1/4" deep filled with dowels of maple and walnut and sanded smooth. This rifle is really ugly, beyond Fugly. If you look in wikipedia under the term butt-ugly they have a picture of this rifle, actually it's so ugly they just ran the negative!

Cost me $750 to tour the store this time...he showed me a big Unertl 36X and it came home with me.

Where did you kill the ostrich with the boots?

probably milking boots, the high top 20" version.
What?, you say you've never "pulled tits" as a kid growing up? The heck! you say.

Have you guys ever seen a 6.5 Kennedy commemerative. ....The basic Carcano with a 50 cent peice pounded into the butt stock with a hammer...................and epoxied in place with Marine Tex.......Both those rifles are real nice compared to some I have seen !!!!!!!

Let's all just pray that this is a one-of-a-kind.

That's the Rosie O'Donnell of rifle stocks!

If you've ever wondered who said that originally.....

That rifle is a damn shame........good grief......

That stock artist needs to change his dealer.Quick tell the CDC that small pox is back-weeping yellow pustules-need eye drops afetr posting this

Hmmm.

I think I have the answer - the stock is a custom cammo job for clown hunting....

Would this be concidered, "pimping one's rifle"?

Who ever did that to a rifle should be made to dig a 12 ft deep hole in hard Texas clay in August, with a tea spoon, then throw that rifle in the bottom of the hole, and then fill it back up with that same tea spoon!

Once a year we can send it to a "deserving" member. At the end of each year it can be transferred to next contender for most "deserving" member.

I'm glad that I'm left handed now and bow gracefully out of the competition for that ....thing.
