R95 gets a face-lift

[Vaquero]

The factory furniture is nothing fancy, not that I'm a fancy kinda guy by any means.

I checked when I first brought it home and swapped a Marlin buttstock and it was a perfect fit. So it's be mulling around inside my little pea brain about finding a set. Came across these at a very good price, but it wasn't what I had in mine.

But, I think it looks better than I expected. Definitely different.

Well, the face-lift is not bad. Yet, the original is not bad either. But, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, I am leaning toward the original. Nevertheless, I am not the owner. If you are happy, all is well!!

[Mags]

I lean toward original as well. Enjoy whichever you decide.

Thank you both for your input. I think a nice walnut would look better and what I was interested in. I'm going to leave it for now. May come across a deal on something more nostalgic. Shouldn't be hard to recoup my investment in these should I desire.

I too lean toward the original.

I like them both.

I prefer the looks of the original wood stock, too.

I’m going against the grain (pun intended) and send my vote for the laminated set. I think it looks better with the matte finish on the receiver and the scope. And the red colored Redfield logos contrast in a pleasing way.

Thanks for the comments guys.
All are welcome. One positive is that now lookin in the safe it will be easier to determine which is which at a quick glance.

I like them both, but the laminate stock adds a little bit of hey, look at me without being overboard. Also, like you say, it helps tell which is which.

I like them both, but the laminate looks good to me.
