And finally both of my new babies #1 on top #2 on the bottom
So what do you guys think??? I asked for shooters and shooters I got based on the MW. I'm really tempted to name the blond rifle Marylin
for obvious reasons
. Marylin's stock is a bit "fat" I don't have the pics to show it, but the wood is visibly thicker than the other rifle. You can see in the last pic how the trigger guard is recessed down a bit. The woods a bit dinged right at that lip, not bad but it's not "perfect". I might be able to fill the dings or re-profile that part of the stock so it is even with the trigger guard and the ding's are gone.
