HAHA! I meant pictures of your actual rifle. So we can see what the finish looks like. I've been told that the finish is a little different than that in the pic you posted.

Interseting note on the laminate one. I ordered one of them last week at a price of $279. It arrived on Thur if I recall. Sat they dropped the price to the current $199. I called them this morning and asked if they would give me the difference since I just ordered it a few days prior to them dropping the price. She said "Sure, we can do that.Thatwasjust bad timing on your part." She's now sending me a gift card for the difference. That's dandy customer service in my opinion!

I am wondering if you have ever used a thumb hole stock much. There are two notable things about them, most [ there are exceptions to any thing like this] people can actually shoot noticeably better off hand with one and they are a bit more awkward in the field since you can not conveniently carry the over your forearm.

I have shot thumbhole stock rifles but do not own one... Actually they do not appeal to me. But I am sure I could get to like them. I handled a Optima the other day with a thumbhole stock and it felt kind of strange. But I could have got used to it if they dropped the price a little..

Is the reciever made of a composite or is it metal?
Wonder why it's not stainless as well?

Nice looking rifles and the prices are great

RE: new muzzleloader for x-mas
 

The receiver is metal. Not sure what though.

Who is manufacturing the rifle?? Tom.
