Ruger 300 Mag Gunstock Carving

Finished! I have never carved a moose before, but this gunstock carving has been a joy to do.  The gun is a Ruger 300 Mag with a stainless steel barrel. It also have a stainless steel scope to top it off. After looking at many pictures on the internet.  I found a picture of a moose I just couldn’t pass up. The carving is of an Alaskan moose. The scenery in Alaska is breath taking. I am looking forward to the day I can go visit, take my own pictures and enjoy what Mother Nature has given to us to protect and share. Then return and carve the images I will have on film as well as in my mind into wood. “The last frontier,” is what my husband would say. I would agree with him.

 Here is my rendition of this picture.  The gun has been custom carved and painted. I chose this large caliber of gun to put the moose carving on because in my mind you need a large caliber gun to bring down an animal of this size. Whether you choose to have your gun painted or left natural is up to you. Either way the end result is a beautiful, one of a kind artistic master piece. One you will be proud to own and display. I’m sure this gun will be hand down from generation to generations.

This gun as well as many others is for sale. I will have this gun with me at the Crossroads of the West Gun Show in Salt Lake City, Utah, this September 25, 26, 2010. Please come and look me up I would enjoy meeting and visiting with you. If you have a comment, please feel free to leave one below. I enjoy all the feed back I receive. Thanks and happy hunting! Deb

RUGER  GUNSTOCK CARVING

Update March 7, 2010: I have had a hard time finishing this gun. The burs I use have been back ordered for the past three weeks.  Pictures will be put on here either Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for waiting so patiently!

 Today I have started another gun. It is a Ruger .243 Model M77. This Ruger gunstock carving has been inspired after finding a mount from a taxidermist. It is of a mountain lion attacking a mule deer. The image that formed in my mind helped me develop this custom carving on this gunstock. (Pictures will be forth coming). To bring some of the old west into this century has been a wonderful experience. This gun has been carved and painted to show the detail even more.

Just a little history of the M77 Ruger rifles. They where first produced in 1968.
