    Jaeger in Cherry?

    I figured walnut would be the way to go, but the darn wait! BTW this will be my first build, so any input would be appreciated, I could see a transitional long rifle, but was very interested in a shorter barrel as this will also serve as a white tail gun, in the Ohio territory. I have a...
