    When you consider how boring the Tikka stocks are I'm pretty sure you will have a lot of orders. I am on the lookout for a decent Tikka 6.5 swede and a stock such as this would turn it into something to be envied.

    Received the bottom metal back from Allen, so this project is now finished. It’s up for grabs, PM me if you’re interested.Name: BB673302-3B8C-4A16-9ABA-A140BD202DCF.jpeg Views: 550 Size: 301.3 KB

    Your BSA 6x45 looks bloody nice with a full Cerakote job on the metal work. A bit dark when I got home today unfortunately so lighting not great inside.
    With the black fibreglass stock it's full stealth mode that's for sure.

    Back into the stock work after a period away doing pay-the-bills work.

    Pretty nice huh?

    Been a long time between updates, so here’s a quick picture of the latest stock nearing completion. This is the forend panel completed, and it represents 22 hours of hand checkering. Would be a lot quicker with a power checkering tool, but they’re a few thousand dollars to invest… Maybe sometime.

    Thanks @Moa Hunter there are imperfections there if you look hard enough. But that’s the beauty in something that’s hand made, never perfect
