and my shoulder loves the change. I had a local stock worker saw the pitch fork off and install the Pachmayer pad on my 86. It sure makes shooting those RanchDog cast boolits alot more fun.
I commend your decision. I have never been afraid to make a gun into the tool I need it to be in spite of value, looks, etc. If I don't like shooting it it is worthless to me. Congratulations on taking the steps to make your gun a good shooter for you!
I absolutely love the look of a crescent butt on a rifle. But, to be honest, I restocked and restyled a Marlin 336 .30-30 and added a sweet-looking crescent butt, and even that rifle will ding your shoulder pretty darned painfully if you're not careful with how you hold it. On a .45-70, I wouldn't even think about it -- that pretty crescent would have to go!
Sorry in my failure to mention the filler is deer antler. I plan to have my initials or a animal lazered onto it sometime. I thought that in the next year or two I will be going to Alaska or Africa and will have my first big game animal carved into the antler.
Yes it is a takedown model.
Hobie sorry about the collector part but I have a bunch of guns and some will never leave the farm and others........ but the 86 will be here until I push up daisys. It is now a more shooter friendly and I love shooting her.
Now onto the B92 in 44 mag...
Shooting a gun that hurts like hell every time you pull the trigger is no fun.
I can shoot most any rifle with a shotgun type but plate, but the crescent but stocks do smart some.
Joe upon checking with my wife she advised the flower is a morning glory. Those morning glorys took off up our pole even during this drought.
Thanks to all for the replys and comments.
