They pop up from time to time on CDNN. Very tempting!

Love the light colored wood stocks too. My first rifle was a Winchester (.243Win) with a light colored Black Walnut stock. It is now my 14 year olds, but I still really like it. Maple and Black Walnut are two of my favorites.
Seems to me that maple rifles should be picture with flapjacks and some eggs.
With that nice fiddleback figure it is a very good looking rifle. I miss out of a lot of these because i shoot left handed. The more pictures the better in this thread.
This is a Remington 552 Speedmaster that I bought from a pawn shop and restored. I had two of them and this one had the blonde stocks. It came out pretty good I think.

I'm refinishing an old Mossberg shotgun stock that may be birch. I'm thinking of going with a light cherry satin finish.
When my Grandpa passed my father gave me his rifle. Never shot it and don’t know much about it other then the blonde stock. Apparently my grandfather had the same interest in the light colored stocks. I heard so much about this rifle growing up. How powerful it was and it had a blonde stock!! Lol He bought it in 1972 in Germany.
