Gorgeous piece of wood. My advice is to upgrade to a higher magnification scope when you can. These guns can hit a target so small at 25 yds that the reticle in some 7X and 9X scopes block out the target.

True that this has potential beyond most low-power scopes, but my advice is to leave what appears to be a period-correct blue ribbon scope on there and then sell the rifle to me immediately!

Is that butt pad rubber or apiece of wood - it's hard to tell from the pics, but it's the first time I see one that looks like that on a 300s.

It's a stunning piece. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Beeaman 22,



The butt pad is made out of wood. As I understand, it allowed the shooter to quickly raise and position the rifle as soon as the moving target is seen. Originally the target was an image of a running boar then transitioned to a moving target. At one point, it was an Olympic event however is still popular in European countries. Here is a pic of the butttpad.
