Ya, I know the Browning quality will be there,
I like really nice standout wood grain, curl, ect. You don't find much of either one anymore in standard production guns as the good walnut sends the price into orbit. I really don't care for light colored stains especially the newer maple ones that Remington has put on some of the rifles. I've read where a lot of current walnut used in production comes from Turkey. If you ever want to see outstanding walnut gunstock wood just type in gun stock wood for sale or something close to that. 400.00 to 4000.00 gets you a piece of wood to send to your stock maker/gun smith. If I had a rifle that needed a new stock and I had money to burn (no I don't) and it was a real favorite gun, it would be pretty cool to pick out your own blank and have it turned into a custom one of a kind gun.
