Was at the LGS and there was a Ruger 77 heavy barrel in 25-06, tang safety. Looked in good shape and I was interested, so had them unlock the thing so I could take a look. Left side showed a nice looking stock and the gun in pretty good shape, turned it over and someone had carved a deer in the buttstock, about 4" in size. Not that great a job either.
Handed it back. Figured I could find another stock, maybe, but then it would put it in the class of paying way too much for the gun.
Oh, they took a scribe and wrote their name on the action!!
Guess I shouldn't complain, it was their rifle, they could do with it as they wished.
