To all user, your thoughts and experience regarding the following will be greatly appreciated.
I'm in the process of purchasing a new CZ 550 375H&H and as I love CZ/Brno and have a couple Brno's, the new CZ's to me don't live up to the quality that was previously Brno.
For starters the finish on the stock is terrible and I would like to remove the original finish and give it a classic English oiled finish, as CZ states on there website the is a piece of Turkish walnut hiding under that finish, as to what grade walnut your guess is as good as mine. Has anyone done this?
Secondly I would like to add a different fore end cap to the stock as well as a heel cap and make a more traditional Brno looking stock.
Your suggestions and pictures if previously done would be highly appreciated.
Thank
Darren
