I appreciate the artwork and skill that goes into it, but stock carving does not appeal to me.

Had a Weatherby Lazermark once. I do know that the Weatherby is not real wood carving, being done by a laser and all but I found it all just a bit gaudy and it was fragile. One of the oak leaf bits broke off the first time out in the bush. Sold the rifle. It was too over the top for me. Odd that I don't feel that way about tastefully done metal engraving on a rifle
