Thought I would start a new topic so as to not clog up the new member intro.
This is a sako 461 in 17-223 an fajen stock from long ago. I know this is not a 204 but that will be my next project. Thought everyone wouldn't mind a custom project to look at.

You, my friend, are an accomplished craftsman. Very nice work there, buddy. I'd have you work on any of my rifles anytime, and I'm one picky bugger when it comes to my guns.

Well done sir! :D
