My confession is ........
............ it has a Monte Carlo stock.
............... it is a bit embarrassing.

Being a Model 1200 Delux Parker Hale with a Mauser 98 Santa Barbara action it was in the 70's quite fashionable. Probably still is with some Weatherby shooters.

Even worse it actually shines like a mirror in sunlight.

Don't feel bad at all about this one John, I have one too but in .308 Norma Magnum!
Great trigger on mine........have to agree with you one the stock though - but it was all the rage here back in the late '70's & early '80's!
By the way your new take on the stock is far more practical & classical - back to the 'future', what is old is new again!
Lovely piece mate, I hope you get out with it soon
