This is from a blank cut in 1986, purchased here on A/O. Sometimes I get lucky !

You guys sure have some nice stocks. I dont think i could hunt with something that pretty for fear of scratching it.

All of my favorite rifles and shotguns have super nice wood and they all get hunted!

Congrats to you, you won't see that kind of wood on many M70's these days!

I was wondering about these, since their not listed as a model online and I can't find out anything else about how many there are etc. The floor plate says Custom High Grade.

I like a busier grain, this is the nicest stock that I own. This was actually the result of a lower to mid priced New Zealand blank.

Nice classic rig Elk!

No JD848. "B" guns refers to Browning, Benelli and Beretta. Whereas a "bee" gun refers to Weatherby. I will post pictures of it, but it's in the truck and I'm in the shop. It's a Kral Arms, which is something I hadn't heard of before. You can google it and see their variety of offerings.
I handled it a couple of times while visiting Flys Etc. in High River. It felt nice, seemed to fit me well. Swings fast due to it's light weight. I liked the wood for such an economical gun. It came with 5 chokes, shims for both LH and RH cant. An extra fiber optic front sight and a brass bead. The buttstock features a typical rubber recoil pad. It catches and drags on my clothing as I quickly bring it up. Not a problem, I may change that to a hard pad in the future should it continue to please me.
Upon leaving the store, my first test was to cycle some handicap 2 3/4" target loads and some 2 3/4" upland loads through it. It worked flawlessly. I've managed to hit clays very well but didn't fair all that good on a covey of Huns. The retail price is $489.99, however Udo gave me a small discount.
I did strip it down to wipe off any factory lube that may affect cycling and wiped the metal with G96 and the wood with Howard's Feed & Wax. I wasn't disappointed with the internal construction. However I will resist final judgment until I put it through further shooting. But as of now, I'm certainly not disappointed.

How about a stunning example of Jackie Brown's work ?
This one is a .62 trade gun
