Maple Stock - Worth It?

Beautiful piece of quilted maple there.
I'd venture to say the stock is easily worth $2000-$2500.
To make a stock like that first you'd have to find a chunk of quilted big enough, that alone is gonna be tough to do.
Then it has to be cut and shaped, add in inlet pillars and bedding and finishing.
Ya might ought pull the trigger!!

Definitely with Bc'z on this one.

Was a time when good maple was easy to find and pretty affordable, not no mo. I like working with it, makes a very pretty stock when done up right. Not a big fan of the light colour like that, prefer it darkened.

I work for the company that supplies browning and Winchester with their maple stocks. Its a lot of fun and I get first pick of stocks. My first build was for a marlin model 60. Just wanted to try and it came out great. Starting on my next one.

Drop dead outstanding would love to have my Hands on it.

I love beautiful things. But, if I can' use it, I don't want it.
For me, keeping things 'safe' is pointless. To me, wear marks are cool.

I do love a nice maple stock. A friend on the other side of the country found a really nice tiger stripe semi inlet. He asked if I have a pre-‘64 model 70. No, so I searched for and found one. It will be a 6.5x68 with a fluted chrome moly Krieger barrel. The stock will get finished by BC’z. It’s gonna be so pretty .
