    I’d rather have that than any 10-22. Very nice work and no replacement barrel needed. I like it!

    Me too.

    I'm normally not all that enamored with thumbhole stocks, but I like the looks of that one.

    That is a great looking rifle , excellent job . I have a Marlin 60 my folks gave me for xmas years ago , in my wildest dreams I could never imagine it looking so stylish . Like others have stated I am not a huge fan of thumbhole stocks ,but something about yours really catches my eye. Very impressive.
