Steve - I really like the walnut in your stock. As far as hunting with it, I don't see a problem - as you said.
: Bigdog - the only dumb question is one that isn't asked. Private message sent to you.
; Taylor used the maple blank for his Jaeger as it was a rather nice one wiht good feather in the butt area.
; Up until now, this was not only his only hunting rifle, but also his 'target' rifle for rendezvous. He has now finished a new Virginia rifle (Ginney) in .50 for rondy's. Initial testing shows the Rice barrel to be a wonderful shooter. He'll be difficult to beat at Heffley creek this August.
