Beautiful wood and scratches after Idaho Elk Hunting

I saw one of the guys I hunted with about 25years ago really beat up a new Weatherby Mark V elk hunting. At the time Weatherby didn't use an oil finsh more like some type of polymer. It looked like the finish was going to have to be removed from the entire stock then refinished again to fix it.
After seeing that rifle on my second hunt there I used a Win 70 Fwt with a laminated stock. It isn't as pretty as quality walnut but it is stronger and alot easier to fix. I prefer laminated wood to fiberglass stocks any day.

Good luck with getting a bear in Idaho...

Just remember if you hurt it, you better kill it. They have a serious problem with someone shooting them. I was always scared of running into a Grizzley either going out in the dark in the morning or coming back to camp in the dark. The standard joke was the horse is going to throw off you so it can run away faster.....
