Savage_99Look at the checkering pattern on that grip!
A new to me custom rifle is on the way to me from a dealer. I am into well done stocks these days for bolt actioned rifles. This is a 7mm mag. on an FN action with a custom stock.
Get the 'power' or optic that your eye likes instead of what someone else says.
When we go to the doctor they ask us what lens we like!
Do that with your optics.

ikesdadIt's in the eye of the beholder. I think that ribbons look nice and those go with the flow of the grip area.

D HumbargerThat's a "open grip" for sure. How does it handle?

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Savage_99Thanks for the compliments gentlemen.
I have not handled the rifle. It was bought on an auction and the seller received my check last week. I hope it will be at my ffl dealers later this week.
Here is another picture.
It's a 7mm magnum with a 24" bbl. on an FN action.

TC1Ribbons are an American thing, it looks out of place on that stock. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though and if you like it that's all that matters.

Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

butchlambertIs that a 32" barrel?

Savage_99The description said it was 24". You could measure a FN action and scale it to that picture.
The forend does look a little shorter than average to me.

Idaho SharpshooterUnique! In a positive way. Way open grip, what caliber is it?

MeetWhistleThe workmanship looks to be well executed but there seems to be a mishmash of competing styles.

Savage_99The rifle came in this week and shot well with 120 Noslers however the 175 factory loads were not accurate and the old 140gr X bullet handloads keyholed.
I measured the twist and it's 1-12" and not the 1-9" standard.
The stock is superb to my eye and I will take it around to smith's to discuss a finish for the stock.

John303.The key word is "custom" is it not? What do I know , to me it is a good looking rifle not to far from the looks to most "Germanic" style rifles. --- John

stockerSav.99- It looks like quality work. I'm not sure I like the checkering pattern but that's a personal thing. Doesn't detract from the quality. Enjoy it a lot.

craigsterIt is unique, I kinda like it.

montea6bI like it a lot. I give points for being unique and different, and this one is... in a good way. Nothing wrong with mixing styles as far as I'm concerned. Many people are American with European roots, nothing wrong with owning a rifle that reflects that blended heritage.
