Stunning Hand-Crafted Walnut Tactical Stock for the ‘Hide
Even in the “tactical” world, hand craftsmanship is not dead yet. Chad Dixon of Long Rifles Inc. (LRI) is building the lastest Sniper’s Hide Cup Trophy Rifle. These photos show the exquisite stock crafted by Chad and Jesse Kaufman of Black Hills Gunstocks & Engraving. Chad cut the stock on his CNC mill and Jesse did the final sanding and finishing on the wood. Here’s what master craftsman Kaufman had to say about the project: “We delivered the Long Rifles Inc. Mausingfield today! I was so very pleased that Chad and the staff at the shop thought it looked great. It means a lot to be able to support my family and household with the income I receive from my labor. May the Lord bless you all. — Jesse.”

Poor ole piece of walnut, sorry you had to get gi joe’d.
Absolutely stunning! I couldn’t see a more fitting use of an incredible piece of walnut for such an overall amazing rifle build.
Nice looking wood and workmanship. Sure wish they hadn’t decided to oil the finish. IMO that totally kills the effect of both. Mineral oil here, use to be linseed oil.
Chad cut the stock on his CNC and did all the work except the final sanding and finshing. Jesse put the finishing touches on the wood. Great amount of respect and admiration for both of them. Job well done! (Beyond well actually)
Nice wood and work, but I would never have a stock design like that, but it wasn’t built for me.
