Bigbulls, ya have to love those Coopers......
Beautiful is in the eye of the beholder and is very subjective. I think that in the case of the Savages and Mossbergs that their fit, finish and stock material has been sub-par when compared with the other major makers but in recent years they have come along waysand catch up. Everyone has different taste in which is pleasing to their eyes. I have a liking for stocks with some character/figure. I have a few Ruger 77's and while they are solid rifles I never considered them as nice looking in my book until recently when I accquired this one, it'sfactory stocked MK II in 270 Win.

I own quite a few Rugers, 77's, #1's and Red lables with some pretty nice confiquired wood. I have never seen a 77 with this type of wood? Did you buy this new or from a custom shop? Super nice rifle. I got a birthday coming up. I don't suppose you would like to adopt me!
