    Here's my stutzen in 7x64, a CZ. Beautifully "reconfigured by @FRST who stripped off a bit of the OTT "euro" styling and added a nice kiwi touch. Shoots mint, 160s at 2820 into 20mm at 100M (for 3 shots anyway).

    Foster that is a thing of beauty. love the stock redesign.
    I once had a CZ550 full stock in 6.5x55 and I felt it was heavy, and I was picky about the stock shape, and it didnt shoot well enough for me, and maybe I wished it was a 7x57, and years later I still regret selling that rifle.

    Yes .............. and No .................
    I've had some really nice stuff over the years - including Irish, English and German, and it never got used - but I did spend time looking at them.
    They've gone to new homes now with new people to appreciate them ............. but I do ocassionally think about them.

    I've still got my 'users' which doesn't matter too much if I drop them, but I'd probably say it took a few years to develop that mindset.
    Prior to that - I cried every night .............

    Well, it's sort of the style of rifle stock.
    It's my 12/15 BSA Martini. Made the stock from NZ Red Beech.
    Fitted with a Nickel scope of about the same era.
    It's quite a nice wee rifle to use, and very accurate.
    Not allowed to sell it...family want it when I'm gone.
