Varmint thumbhole stock for a Remington 700

Very Impressive. I love the look.

Great job as always. Impressive stock and interesting contrast in the woods.

I guess I wouldn’t think of elm as stock lumber, but you sure made it work. It looks great.

Great work Hal, I really like the contrasting woods. Elm is an interesting choice but I like it.

Nicely done..
FYI, I been trained in a military like academy .. Merchant Marine. I only had the chance to fire the Garandt, M14 and M16 armalite speaking of those rifles. The one I remember is my cousin’s carbine (not sure of the spelling) 30 caliber.. I change the butt with a folding butt that uses a hinged steel. I am curious whether you also make such hinged butt.
Thanks,

Super outstanding! Wow!

Both of these stocks are beautiful but I particularly like the elm/walnut combination. I think elm is very underappreciated as it can have some beautiful grain. All of your stocks are works of art that I would be afraid to use for fear of scratching/dinging them. Keep posting these marvels.

Hal,
As usual you have out done yourself!

I have always been fond of light & dark Lamination’s. Still prefer laminated to synthetics,”wood & steel”
I remember sporterizing 98M stocks,when they were first available as surplus. I believe they were 3mm thick lams of birch or other light wood. Most all were stained very dark. I we would bleach all the oil and crud, finish natural were gorgeous.

hal these two stocks are just amazing, i love the lamination, great carving…
