Bob58 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I recently picked up for cheap, a plain, uncheckered, factory stocked, 96-based Stiga that I thought I could improve. I removed the schnabel, added a tip, grip cap and worked on my checkering. I then stained it (unfortunately had to, the wood was quite substandard walnut) and finished it with Tru-Oil. I added the Weaver K-1 - all I need to do now is add a barrel-mounted sling. (ignore the dates in the picture, they're a year off). I think I now have a presentable shooter.

Bob58 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 that turned out real nice. did it start out as one of the sarco specials? It came from Sarco - a couple years ago (recent to me!). Sat in a corner for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemson Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I like it, Bob. Your checkering shows real progress -- very professional. Are you ready to take on work? Clemson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenden Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Thats a nice sporter Bob. Checkering makes her stand out. Very well done indeed. Now you've got me thinking about removing the schnabel on my 8mm sporter. Hmm..decisions. Maybe if I incorporate checkering into the stock, it just won't look like a plain jane penis shaped stock. Anyway, good job! Brenden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
