Shoots great, especially after I put a taller rear sight on it. It's a very good fit for me, just swings up nicely.
I’m not sure why or how an ‘engraved’ (aka carved) stock would be detrimental to a dedicated hunting rifle. Get what you want and like, then use it, unless your plan is to save them for future generations to sell at a pawn shop, or you just want to have some guns for ‘looking at’ and other guns for ‘hunting’ and shooting, though an expensive option. Personally gave up on separating any reproduction guns in use or collect types categories years ago. Why? And I have actually hunted with original guns, only retiring original guns to the ‘looking at’ category if they had functional issues, though none of mine are what one would confuse with high end museum grade guns.
One more time. Get what you like and want.

I really like my Cherry stock kibler colonial smoothbore. No dye just plain oil finish and natural sun. i think you would be very pleased with a cherry Woodsrunner.

That rifle is stunning!!
Thank you very much!
I normally don't like the cherry finishes I see on here but I do like yours. Not too light or red. Did you leave it out in the sun for a long time? Did you do that before finishing or after?
My wife has the same problem and when I correct her, she says you know the other left and she is never been a pilot.Noted. I get those turned around all the time. Kind of like left and right and north and south, and I used to be a pilot.
it's not that I get lost, it's just my brain swaps the labels and the opposite one comes out ...
I just finished a carved woodsrunner in cherry. If I had it to do over again, I would not buy a craved stock.
I never, I mean never use oil on any of my BP rifles. I have always used bear grease inside and out. It is a pain in the rear to wipe the gun down and keep the grease out of the carving
