That is a sweet-lookin little shooter!

Can't see the wood good enough - & I'm not familiar with the term - What makes it quilted maple?

Looks like the bushy tails might be in trouble this year . Seems there are a lot of people building the smaller calibers ?

Dang, what a beautiful and well crafted rifle.  That fore stock with the odd figure is identical to the stock on my .45.  I refer to it as "clouds" and "flame" as that's what it resembles (to me) more than tiger.
