Just finished a rifle my Dad started
30 years ago. He had a Interarms Mark X action in 270 Win. He built the stock out of wood from our farm that he had dried 10 years earlier.
Curved metal checkered buttplate and grip cap. Found some Warne steel mounts (they were matte of course) shortened front mount and fluted the front just for looks. Polished and blued afterwards. Had to do the bottom metal again because it looked like it had been in a tool bag for 30 years. Found a pristine Leupold 3x9 gloss to finish it out. It still had grease in the barrel.
Been sitting unfinished because he lost some trigger parts. He's hit that stage so he passed it on to me this Bday to finish up. It's never leaving this family.
