Transformation of a Stevens 243

Bought this rifle two weeks ago and transformed it into an awesome calling rig. A few pics of the process from a dull gray bare bones rifle into a ready to hunt rig.

I haven't decided on the barrel and stock yet. I will eventually paint it as well.

great job on the stock. i would like to paint mine too but it may not look that nice. i'm not too skilled in the paint dept.
every day is a gift. use it well

colour is a symbol of where you are from and not of who you are
