Carlsen, Thank you for your kind words.In retrospect I should have bought the CZ full stock version of the stock;I would not have had to cut away so much wood as I did the lux ,but it came out well.Actually the only difference between the original and this stock is no barrel screw in the new stock and the new stock retains the slight CZ palm swell(for my size 10 hands) and slightly thicker dimensions.As far as revealing the finish ;due to a promise I cannnot ,but I have seen similar finishes on violin makers sites.I also had a ZKK600 .270 years ago; a magnificently accurate rifle.The area of the world I was living in however had no scope mounts available so reluctantly I traded the rifle.
