How did they do that?
Look at this Austrian mauser over at Cabelas website:

The picture in the lower left - the wrist checkering.

The "checkering" looks like little spades.

How is this done? Are they glued on? Are they actually carved??

Very carefully?

It doesn't look like anything really that much different than what they do on the front and back straps of 1911's etc. Wood might be a little less forgiving though. Smiler

Or several tries, hence the $20,000.00 price for the rifle and 12 stocks they made till they got one right. Wink

That's the ugliest scope and mount I've ever seen.

I don't like the ventilated rubber recoil pad on a rifle like this one.
