    Very nice indeed.

    I did see a couple in a store in ChCh the other day with similarly patterned stocks. They must be selecting the wood carefully.

    That stock reminds me of the last tabby bastard I shot with my plastic ruger.
    Damn that is a nice bit of firewood.��

    Here’s the brno 601 ive just finished fixing up
    It had its issues (still dose)
    It’s been snapped through the wrist and repaired not by me
    But is nice and strong it’s just a shame coz it’s a nice bit of wood
    Who ever fixed it had re checked it with a knife
    And it looked like shit so a just took it all off and went for the smooth look

    Here’s what it looked like when I got it

    Also turned it from a 1.5-2 inch @100 rifle to a 0.5-1 inch rifle
    By getting the barrel cut to remove pitting and re crown
