    Hi Macca - Boiled Linseed oil.

    Here's some slightly better pics...but I'm strugling with the light to get a good photo. It's finished to 1200grit and has an almost mirror finish but I can't capture it with my shitty camera.







    Just gotta fit the but pad to finish, but thats no biggie. I may purchase another suppressor as the one I have is a bit on the heavy side, and soon as this rifle is only a shade over 5lb it would be a shame to weigh it down with a heavy suppressor.

    Try these ones - pics taken outside ''in order to shed some more light on the subject'' as my old man would say.

    pic's:





    The LOP proportions always look a little out on my rifles as I'm over 6' 4'' tall and need the longer LOP to shoot right, but other than that I quite like this little rifle and can see it getting used quite a bit for buh hunting with sub-sonic loads over my dog/s.

    Nah, big hands I've got - but unfortunately that’s about it, I'm definitely not anatomically correct.

    That's a damn fine job kimjon.
    TJ did some fine work for me on a Winchester stock, just thought I'd mention it if you'd like some checkering.

    Was gonna say that too. Some checkering would just finish it off beautifully.

    Yes TJ is a very skilled man, he's got way more skill than I do plus the patience to do that kind of work. On this project I don't think I could justify spending much more time on it - it is what it is (a semi-custom based on cheap Weatherby action).

    It was walnut, we'll seasoned. Its been tidied up a lot since those pics were taken and a suppressor was added too...it looks way better now with shorter LOP and TJ fitted a recoil pad for me just to finish it off.
