Thinking about an Origin 7mm-08 with CF barrel. I have a craving for a (somewhat) classic wood stock, but I’m not sure how the wood stock will look with a CF barrel? Retro meeting modern materials. Currently thinking M40 style stock (matte finish BLO finished walnut, no checkering, Monte Carlo cheek), but inletted for AICS DBM.

Anyone who has a setup like this or at least with any kind of wood stock, DBM, and CF barrel and want to post up a photo for me, I would appreciate it.
 
I’ve seen this done and it looks bad ass! Wood stocks and wood replica’s are actually coming back strong right now

Just look at foundation stocks exploding

But I’m like you I would prefer a actual wood one with a dbm setup even a factory one would do, if I could open the barrel channel up big enough for a proof sendero

A chassis absolutely has it’s place, but I still love the looks of a good wood grain...

Here are two Todd Ramirez guns. I think he does the combo justice.

Will McClosky knows what he's doing, too.

I have been playing with the idea of building a M40 style rifle using a plain jane walnut stock with a matte finish and using a Proof Sendero CF barrel and having the barrel and action cerakoted.

That would make the barrel "look" heavy but it would not be.
 
Griffin and Howe build a nice looking rifle with a proof barrel, walnut stock, and a Mausingfield action. Im not certain, but I think their stock has a full length bedding block bonded to the walnut. Cool looking rifles with an interesting name if that's your bag.

The bottom rifle is essentially what I’m after, but with a more utilitarian understated look to the stock and an 18-20” barrel. These are some good looking rifles. Thanks!
 
You have a website or just do it as a fun project for friends? Beautiful work. What kind of wood is that?

I just use Facebook and Instagram right now, and most every stock is made to order. It requires a little more interaction, but helps the end product. On Instagram I’m @atgwood_works and on FB I’m ATG Wood Works. If not on there, shoot me a message on here and we can talk if you’re interested!

The wood on the Gray and Black is Curly (Tiger) Maple.

Got a web site or contact for prices? After I get my action barreled I will be looking for a nice wood stock to lay her in. Looking to get a stock similar to the ones pictured above.
I was talking about laminating around the barrel not a stock. I was mostly joking.

Sorry op if you didn’t find it humorous.. I’ll wander back to the bear pit now.
