I’m getting outvoted but I like the right. I like that it has more figure in the fore end. And particularly like that solid line of black grain that goes pretty much from fire end through the wrist to that piece if burl on the end of the butt.

I chose right. I liked the dark streaks on that one. Both are pretty wicked though.

I chose the right one. I like the heavier mineral streaks. (Though I could have done without the knots on the right-hand side. However, they do not seem to be in a place where it has any structural importance). Grain flow through the wrists seem about equal. The grain in the foreend seems to be much straighter in the stock on the right, which could be better a/o reduce the risk of warping over time.

But both are really, really beautiful. Congratulations to you for having such a dilemma!

Agree! I did the same again by a very slim margin.

Just curious…should there be any concern about the dark wood line running through the wrist on the right one? Stock experts please reply…it is beautiful!
