Lovely rifle..but
I will never understand why somebody would invest that much in a rifle and have the wood stand proud over the metal. Sand the stock with the metal so the metal looks like it grew out of the wood. Then finish the metal.
Maybe I am being picky, but that is the way I see things. There are two ways to do things, the right way and the wrong way. The wood and metal were mated the wrong way. One would expect that kind of fit on a factory rifle, but this is supposed to be high end custom work.
