I have made a new Gun stock for an old Remington Game Master 30 06 Rifle. Here are some pictures of what it looks like now. I have stabilized the Buck eye Burl and then shaped it to size. I think it came out pretty good for a first attempt. I had to test it and it just happened that I shot a buck on opening day with the help a very good friend.

Constant,
What year is that Game Master? Judging from the photos you turned 400-600 dollars into a 1500 dollar masterpiece. Lovely gun you have there.
 
Really stunning Constant. Great work, and the rifle looks grand.

I would love to do this sometime. I have always wanted to make a rifle stock. Every time I see a very nice wood one the stock it makes me want to try it for one of my own firearms

Excellent job
 
WOW. Wish I had known you 5 years ago. I had an old Franchi single shot shotgun that needed a stock. the original cracked and was not safe to use. I ended up trading it toward my Ruger GP100.
 
Now you have 2 things to think about, 1 you will look damn good shooting even if you miss and 2 how will you keep it from getting scratched up.
 
How does it shoot

Really looks beautiful.

I never did one but I used to read a lot about restocking rifles and it seems to me that most of the articles warned against stocks with too much figure. I think they were concerned about strength and about twisting or warping hurting the accuracy. They were concerned mostly with bolt actions had one piece wood stock and fore piece.

Did you see anything like that???
 
Great! God made camo! What will He think of next? Amazing work on the stock. The people on this site never cease to blow me away with their talent.

I have shot about 40 shots of 220 grain bullets and a couple 180 grain bullets and it is holding up very good and it is very accurate.

I also have stabilized the the wood that makes it much stronger.
