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.

Most excellent work .

Thanks for sharing with us and welcome to Lumberjocks community.

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.

-- teh most beautiful about a tree is what you can make out of it...even if that is only a fire!I hate raking

Very nice!

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

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

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

wow that’s good.

It looks good from here. welcome to LJ:-))

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 right!

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.

Verrrrrrry nice, Wow! Do you have different patterns for different guns?

-- There are three signs of old age. The first is loss of memory. I forgot the other two!

wow that’s good.

Very nice. I have a M700 SPS with an Vtr stock on it in .223. 200 yards with a one one inch group ain’t bad!

-- Hold on! Let me get the board stretcher!

That is spectacular work, and three of my favorite woods, to boot.

-- Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur

Beautiful stock. I wish all my stocks looked half that good.

-- Mike. mwurm13@yahoo.com

that is a sweet looking stock….wish I had one of those on my M40A1, and not the synthetic crap the Marines use LOL.

But on the other hand, I have a 700 BDL in .308, and love to target practice with it….I woud hate to put this on my rifle and scratch it in the prone!

-- Semper Fi, Randy Sr.

As a woodworker and a hunter, I must say this is one of the most impressive things I’ve seen on this website. Real nice work.

-- Better than good, it's wood.

a great looking stock. Nice job on the lamination and construction.
