I ran across this and thought I'd share:

I am not real crazy about the forend tip shape or the bolt handle, but I do think that's a pretty piece of wood wrapped around the rifle.

All it needs is a little deck tape to keep it from slipping out of one hands.

Lovely piece of wood.

Too bad it's ruined with that
shit pc of oak!

Or is it ash ? Certainly fixable.

description says Chestnut.
Good thing wood is easy to fix, cuz that forend tip give me a case of the gags.

What would cause someone to put cheap-ass chunk of Oak(I don't care what it says, it looks like oak)on a nice stock like that??

Sumpin' tells me that piece won't sell for near the $1400 buy it now price!

I have to say that I am not impressed. I agree that the wood was nice, too bad it was sacrificed on this abomination. Nothing about this rifle appeals to me. And I agree that it would be a miracle if this sold for the asking price.

I saw an as new Mk X 7mm mag in a really nicely done stock complete with fluer d'lis checkering and the in bow floorplate release at a local shop for $1000. The stock alone would have set the owner back far more than that.

Charles,

That was funny!

A ebony tip would be a good fix.

Nice gun otherwise.

I'll bet that forend tip is ash. I worked as a cabinet maker for a while and ash was one of the woods we used.
Just think. If you buy that rifle, you get a piece of ash.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

He should have taken the $1200 he said he was offered. No one turns down $1200 FTF to do a deal over the internet for $1400.
