416WSM on Siamese Mauser & 416/348Ackley Improved on Martini

[BlueFlyer]

the 404 had a zebrawood fore end tip

That zebrawood is certainly a contrast. Below is a photo of my 45/70 on a Martini action. I made the stock in the early 90s. The fiddle back red gum is a subtle contrast and matched the Pachmayr colour to book end the stock. Granted the fiddle back grain is not very strong.
