Salted Browning- Any Stockmakers Here?

[BigBull 301]

If it was me, I would leave the stock off till I wanted to shoot it.

LOL! That is a no cost idea that takes care of the issue. Great Idea!

That brings up an issue of consistency with the stock and action.

I checked it out but I am afraid the price range is a bit on the high side. No doubt that is some beautiful work, but $4000 to start, without the cost of the wood, is prohibitive for me.

Yes thanks tac. Boyd's is the one resource I had found. I did not see the multiple options though. I thought the target type was the only choice. The second time through, I figured out the website. I will be getting the rimfire hunter in walnut. Can't beat that for 172 bucks.
All the help is very much appreciated guys.

Outstanding!

Yes.......but I can't remember what it is.......will look it up. He purchased several of the Northern California stock makers after they went out of busisness. Give him a call........but I will look it up too. Walnut grove Gunstock's. He also sells some magnificent large slabs. Tell him you talked to Dave Wright.

Hey, we're probably related to some extent. My mother's maiden name is Wright, and my grandfather was named Robert Orville Wright... cousin or great cousin I believe.

Explains my "above average" mechanical aptitude and other "talent stacks".

All we European Wright's are related somewhere. My great grandfather immigrated from Ireland in the 1880's. We are Irish Protestant's from northern England and Scotland. (we have common ancient Pict ancestry from that area) They got land in Ireland after my many times great grandfather James did Oliver Cromwell's bidding (James was a captain in Cromwell's new army) and put the Irish village of Drogheda to the sword after they refused to surrender. We also have a fascinating relative Fortunatus Wright, one of the most famous English pirates of his day.......... he hated the French and Moor's (Muslims), hunted them successfully for decades. Look him up......he lived a life people wouldn't believe in a novel. I met some of the cousins in Europe a few years ago, great successful intelegent people that love freedom, leaving the EU (and Trump). They were carriage builders in older times and still own the family flax mill.

As an aside, far from being a 'village' Drogheda was a major city and seaport on the River Boyne, with extensive murage, as evinced from this photo of the only remaining town gate - the St Lawrence Gate.



You are looking uphill, into the city proper, in the direction of the cathedral.

This view is from the fort of Millmount, on the Southern bank -



Cromwell is not a name you mention here unless you wish to leave with your teeth in your pocket.

We spent a couple of weeks at Carrickdale near there and wandered the city a lot. There is a great pub/restaurant across from the cathedral we frequented..........guess it was good we were quiet. My wife is a recovering Catholic, that might have helped.
