I don't think I do either. Looks better on guitars.

I like maple...that one is a little plain. On a rifle like this (especially with the CCH), it just doesn't look right to my eye.

There is a 24inch barreled modle with the maple also.

It gives the rifle no 'depth' - like a darker walnut does.

It looks cheap.

Reminds me of some of the early Marlin Glenfield rifles that had birchwood stocks.

Neither would I except for say an incredibly good price, or in a trade etc. but nothing I would voluntarily buy for regular price.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
