Beautiful stick of wood! xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

Chris, Who is the maker? I would suspect Heym however with the weight and the " shape" of the insigneia on the frame and case coloring, it looks like a CE grade FOX from CSMC. I cannot read the inscription. | |||

New Guy- Great looking stock! Go kill something with it and show us how good it looks against fresh plumage... Cheers Tinker _________________________________ Self appointed Colonel, DRSS | |||

Ed: First, gorgeous look of the wood you are going to use for your .500 NE. But please take no offense to what I'm about to write. What does the gun maker say about the layout and grain flow of the wood in the wrist area on the left side of your blank? I ask because I have been down this road before (picking a blank for my .577 NE) and having straight grain flow through the wrist was something that was important. To my very low trained eye (and only based upon photos) it looks like the grain flow on the left side of the blank isn't that strong through the wrist. I would be curious what the gun maker of your blank and what the stock makers on here think of the layout in the wrist area. And again, please take no offense to my question - I am only basing it on the photos you posted. 577NitroExpress Double Rifle Shooters Society Francotte .470 Nitro Express  If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming... | |||

Chris, Beautiful gun!!! Ed, Very nice! It seems that Luxus is cutting their blanks in the "Garden of Eden". I have viewed a lot of their wood, and they all seem to be magnificent! I never see blanks like this anywhere else, and they just keep producing them...impressive! ND  Stephen Grant 500BPE Joseph Harkom 450BPE | |||

DAMNIT....To purdy for dusty, dirty, calloused up farm hand like me to even touch....very nice....Jerry | |||

.577, It looks to me that if the layout on the left side is shifted forward to match what has been marked off on the right that the wrist situation will improve dramatically. One might lose a bit of the figure that ends up in the finished stock...but such is life right? | |||

SO NICE. Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too! Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system.  | |||

tendrams: Anything is possible, and you won't know for sure until you start carving. With that being said, solely based upon the two photos provided, I would heed caution. People a lot more knowledgable than I regarding stock lay out helped me with my blank selection and each one said that grain that runs straight through the wrist is the one of the most important features a gun needs, especially a large bore DR. If nothing else, if I did go with that blank, I would add on an extended top strap and extended trigger guard.

Chris, the wood is very nice, as also the total gun! From what I can see of the shotgun, the look of the scalloped receiver I think I know the manufacture. I believe this gun is from Germany, to be more precise out of the town Zella Mehlis and the manufactures name is Ziegenhahn & Sohn – isn’t it? Robert | |||
