Thankfully, the maker left more than enough wood to save the stock. The cheekpiece, ugly as it is, is only chisels, rasps, files and an orbital sander away from being quite nicely repaired.

I don't like the bolt knob one bit but it's salvagable, and the skeletonized butt plate looks OK to me - bit of a kicker on a .50. All the foofarah needs to disappear, like the squared gaurd and side plates on the stock.

Probably worth $400.00 to $500.00 for turning into something nice, considering the chambering and action in good shape. Only needs wood work + the bolt, afterall.

Anytime you can get an inlet pre-carved stock, nicely barreled action for 4 to 5 hundred - that's a good deal - here, anyway- especially if the action work is done for a .500 Jeffery - with sights, yet - I'd certainly buy it, for that, in a heart beat.
