Wood is tiger stripe maple. Finished with linseed oil applied by my bare finger. You can't imagine how many coats of linseed oil are on the stock. I apply another coat about once a year to keep it looking good. You can get the stocks in several different grades. I don't skimp on the stock. This one is the highest grade that's available. I have a trunk of a mesquite tree that's been sitting in the barn for 3-4 years. Want to make my own stock someday.
Folks are a bit bigger than they used to be. That butt takes a bit to get used to the placement. It doesn't sit where people hold a rifle these days.
