Wow Curt!  Chuck has outdone himself again!  The best part for me, is that if you hadn't told us it was a Kibler kit, I would have never known. Very nicely done!

Curt,

Beautiful rifle.  As usual, I always like to ask how the wood was stained and finished and how the metal was finished. ?

Thanks

Curt, wish I had more than two thumbs to put up for you.  The ex- once said that sometimes I could be "all thumbs", so maybe ten?

Sincerely like and enjoy the butt/cheek carving.  Simple, graceful, and expertly carved.

Thanks for the pics.
