Greg, why is that not exhibition grade wood, just curious your thinking? It has incredible figure and is consistent on both sides. I'd call that exhibition quality, but I'm no expert. I'd sure like to learn more.

I believe that stock is indeed exhibition quality. I did not mean at all to say that it's not, I'm sorry if you took it that way. I just don't know if I would term it best exhibition quality - with emphasis on best. Beautiful wood, like women, is in the eyes of the beholder. If there's an issue I have with calling that piece of wood best exhibition quality is what appears to be pin knots on both sides of the stock. Nonetheless, I don't think that it would taint anyone's gun cabinet -- I'd love to have it in mine.

Burl walnut of any wood type can be stunning and that one is as good as it gets in Claro. I personally am not a fan of burl because of all the various pin knots and voids one encounters. That said this particular stock is straight grained where it needs to be in the wrist area. IMO that is about the best Claro burl I have ever seen.

Bought this from a long time friend that acquired it new in 1998. It was a leftover reproduction from NJ.

A real beauty Mark! What gage and barrel length is it. Congrats
