I like Mannlichers. Have a CZ-452 Mannlicher and had the stock refinished professionally, hand rubbed oil finish, to get rid of the polyurethane, but I gotta say it looks nowhere near as good as Paladin's 10/22...

That's just gorgeous wood.

I think I read somewhere that the original purpose of the Mannlicher stock was to protect the rifle from being banged up on the rocks when climbing mountains in the Alps.
