B

Yeah, what p dog said. Bravo

A is the clear cut winner in my view. Both A and B have good grain flow through the wrist but B has a big area just beyond the wrist that is pretty devoid and rather blah. A has a great looking upsweep in the grain flow in the butt. A has a perfect grain flow in the forend while B is pretty poor as it is going down.

C isn't even in the running.

Chic, I like A also , same reasons. C has a nice butt, but nothing under the reciever and fore end. B has to big of a blank space in the but and the mineral at the but might be cut off for a recoil pad,

Thanks Chic .

I vote for A

"A". No contest.

Those are very nice. I like A also.

At first glance, I liked A and I like how the grain pattern flows in the blank!

A, then B, then C as a distant third.

Note that many of the Bubbas picked A, so that is probably exactly the wrong way to go.

If I might toss in a couple of pennies, I suggest a second look at "C" with the layout flipped over, top to bottom. Not only would this use the prettiest edge of the blank but looks like it might be a better layout in regards to the forend grain.

As they are, I pick "A", but there ain't many flies on any of them...
