Nothing like beautiful fiddle-back to get a walnut and blue steel nut excited!!!

Fantastic.

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

That knife job they did is ludacris, not their best work

Don’t tell me you did that Dunc

i did it with a chopstick and a hacksaw blade

Seriously bra

Been keen to get another lever action lately and have been looking at those big loop Marlins. Walked into the GC sale on Saturday to pick one up when I saw this Laminate/Blued 2nd hand one for $600. Weighty, but they’ve got a nice solid feel to them.

I hope you dont mind, but here are some more photos of the sako .22
With such a nice piece of wood and a factory finish being what it is, I decided to refine it a little bit.
I applied a few coats of light schaftol stock oil, followed by some real fine sandpaper (1500 to 2000g), then rubbed it with a rag and repeated a couple times. Came up pretty good I reckon.

What's the other side like, I suspect you are just showing us the good side☺

@Marty Henry You are right, the other side is just like a stained brown fence paling
Na, The other side is similarly as pretty. That's all the excuse I need to post more photos.
Will get her out tonight.

That’s one of the best I’ve seen, usually the striping doesn’t get from one end to the other. Impressive.

Have you shot it yet I'm thinking of a new .22 but although it looks bloody awesome it needs to shoot awesome as well.
