VERRRRRRRY Nice!!!!!!! Superb work, really beautiful stocks.

-- Dan Wiggins

Wow, the proportions and grain are incredible. What’s the stock meant for, action, caliber, etc, etc. Is the stock fitted for you, the cheek plate looks real comfortable. Nice work, I’m drooling, BTKS.

Usually laminated stocks make me want to vomit.firearms are supposed to have beautiful wood stocks dammit! These are definately beautiful wood so now I can’t say I hate laminate stocks anymore.

-- Nothing's impossible...it just gets expensive

Very nice!

I have the same questions as BTKS with the additional question: is the barrel floating?

-- Gary - Never pass up the opportunity to make a mistake look like you planned it that way - Tyler, TX

This stock fits a Remington 700 Varmint in .222 Remington with a standard heavy weight barrel. I made it for my sons rifle. I installed aluminum pillars and glassed the action. The barrel is floated and it’s a tack driver.

Most of the laminated stocks on the market are dyed birch and they are stable, but they look just ok… I’ve always liked high grade wood only I couldn’t afford stocks like this one, so I started making them myself.

oh looks like we were wrighting at the same time, i have the remington 700 vls chambered in .308 no thumb hole but it does have the heavy barrel and it sure does shoot straight. i would love to add a stock like that one to it, great job you should add some pics of the gun put back together to show how nice the stock looks attached to it

As one who shoot a fair amount myself, I have always been partial to the feel of wood instead of synthetic. Your work is fantastic, and the maple really looks sweet. What finish did you put on?

-- Measuring twice and cutting once only works if you read the tape correctly!

Another fantastic looking gun stock….........WOW.

-- Jerry--A man can never have enough tools or clamps

I used trans-tint dye, dissolved in denatured alcohol to just bring out the grain and to color the wood just enough that tung oil wouldn’t turn it an ugly yellow. After rubbing in 5 or 6 coats of oil and letting it dry, I finished the finish with lin-speed gunstock oil for a hard finish.
