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.
