I would price the blank under discussion at $250-300. The layout is excellent for a big bore. Straight up front, excellent in the wrist and strong in the lower butt (which isn't needed when a recoil pad is used). It has some fiddle which would be more visible with the tea/ammonia finishing method used.

Mick's blank again is well laid out but much more beautiful.

Some folks consider the first blank to be perfection. I was offered a pair for $1100 at Reno one time and, instead, chose a blank with feather in the butt for $200. I never got that blank back to my table before I sold it for $500.

The bottom line is that if the layout is OK, all else is personal preference. It is always great if your preference is different from the seller's. Then you save money.
